Julia Ann
watercolor with collaged watercolor
24 x 18
framed size: 25 x 19
Julia Ann was born at the end of the Civil War. She married when she was 15 years of age and had her first child at 18. Julia Ann and her husband had thirteen children; twelve lived to adulthood. During her lifetime, women could not own property and could not vote. It is hard to imagine how many diapers she washed or how she grew and cooked enough food while keeping the household running. Family stories include how she refused to learn to drive, even after the family owned a car. She made extra household income by selling butter and eggs to neighbors, delivering them by horse-drawn surrey. Stories are told of how she made deliveries quickly, frequently turning down conversations and gossip to get to her next delivery.
Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.
