"My father-in-law grew up on Sand Mountain in Alabama, and often talked about how good life was back then. He had to quit school in the third grade to work the small bit of land his family lived on, but times were good. I painted this in memory of him, and in memory of that long gone time in America." - C.E. Harrison aka MamaHen The painting is on artist quality stretched canvas that is 12" by 16", with 3/4" thick sides. There are staples on the sides, so you will need to frame. It is signed C.E. Harrison 7-2008. A signed and dated COA will be included, along with instructions on how to validate it.
