Description
This is a painting of my uncle, my daddy's twin. My reference for the painting was an old black and white photo, about 2 x 3. The photo was probably taken in 1942 or '43. Cotton sales had bottomed, and my grandfather couldn't sell the cotton that the family had raised. So he drove his team of mules, pulling a wagon, to the cotton gin and brought the cotton back home. That's the reason a bale of cotton was sitting beneath a tree on the farm. Uncle Morris (pictured) went to business college after graduating from high school, which is why he's not dressed in farm clothes.
