"Picking Cotton" print of an oil paint by Arie Reinhardt Taylor

The mountain is Baker's Mountain in Catawba County, NC and this is what she wrote about picking cotton:
The air was chilly that morning as I stood looking out over the cotton field. A hint of frost was in the air. The cotton had almost finished blooming. The boles were fat and would soon begin to open. All the hard work would start again and soon the fields would be as white as banks of snow. We used what we called pick pokes tied around our waist or over the shoulder to pick the cotton. When full we emptied them into large burlap sacks or sheets on the ground. The cotton was hauled in a wagon to the cotton gin to be processed and baled. Times are so different now than in the ’30’s when I grew up. Gone are the cotton fields and the cornfields. Instead, there are homes and trailer parks in their place. Picking cotton was a way of life on our farm. Cotton was traded for items we couldn’t grow. It was a backbreaking chore no one enjoyed. Dad was very particular about his cotton crop and made sure everything was exactly right. The entire family would work all day in the cotton fields until we were exhausted. It was amazing how the children would be full of energy as soon as we were allowed to call it a day. I now live in a house located in the middle of one cotton field I worked so tirelessly as a child. My fingers would get sore form pulling the cotton from the burs. Each bur had a very sharp point that would jab your fingers. The worse job on the farm was picking the cotton.

Arie Reinhardt Taylor was born in 1921 in Catawba County in North Carolina. Arie bases her work on scenes from her life in rural Catawba County in the 1920's and '30's.

This is one of my favorite prints because of the subject matter. I love the old log house. The family enjoys visiting with one another and listening to the banjo. It is so realistic, just like the other prints. Great shop, fabulous painter!
