Farmer's Daughter © John Sloane
For a farmer’s daughter, practical learning came as much from day-to-day experience in the garden as any book-learning in school. In this scene, the young farm girl is reaping the rewards of her hard work all summer long. This painting reminds us that nurturing something is hard work, but always worth the effort, and is appreciated in many unseen ways.
