This is a beautiful painting , it has a look of way back in the day.
Very well created scene with the red barn up in back left, the trees to the right of the barn fill the space nicely, I like the white fence too.
The father with his child walking behind the horses as they pull the tiller through the soil to prepare for planting.
Well rendered with good show of the shapes and structures as well as accurate proportions.
Farmers are so important .
Well created, beautifully arranged and presented!

You did a fine rendering of a child helping on the farm. I like the impressionistic style done in pastels. It is forgiving of lesser details. Very nice

Maureen this is a wonderful reenactment of a young girl helping her father manage the land for subsistence. You are full of wonderful ideas and have no trouble bringing them to fruition. Very nice. The best of luck in the contest. Ray

Wow, I love this, love the red barn, the horses hard at work, an old tradition on how it was done in the old day, reminds me of an old chip bag from the 80, my mother had painted a team like this with a wagon and an old man picking potatoes, lol

Such an old world artwork here with the horse pulling the plough - farmer and child walking behind the furrows made.
Colors are excellent and the barn and bushes in background set off the scene perfectly.
