OSWOA® Original Watercolor Art "Ozark's Memories"

A painting of the typical Ozarks barns. I spent many hours in one similar to this one with my father and mother hand milking 50 - 60 Jerseys twice a day. There were so many other related chores: the haying, making fences, plowing, seeding, chain sawing the white oaks for stave bolts and fence posts to be treated, gathering black walnuts to be sold, hunting squirrels, rabbits, quail, wild turkey and deer - not to mention the evenings listening to the baying of the coon hounds. A great life but not for one who wants to be free from all the responsibilities of a dairy farm - 24/7/365 no vacation time.
