"The Sowers"

20 1/4" x 26 3/4" Watercolor

The Sowers, painted by Smoky Mountain artist Ken Schulz, is a picturesque look into the past - brought to life in this watercolor dry-brush painting of two women planting seed in a mountain clearing. Side by side, each with a long handled hoe, preparing the earth before them, and dropping seed carried in a pouch at their side. The warmth of the sun can be felt-- evident by the deep shadows they cast and the poke bonnets they wear. The pioneer spirit of homesteading and wresting a living from the earth is brought to life.

 The Ken Schulz Gallery was located in the Smoky Mountains, set among a forest of trees, flowering rhododendron, mountain laurel, and dogwood. However, Ken has since departed this life and so we keep this art in his memory.
