Picking blackberries is a wonderful childhood
memory of mine. To come upon an unexpected berry patch, you felt as
though you had just found a wonderful treasure. The 4th of July is
normally just about perfect for blackberry picking. Another childhood
memory isn't quite as fond - snakes seem to love the same terrain as
blackberry briars. You always had to watch where you put your hand and
your toes.
The old house in the painting is
representative of many mountain homes in the Appalachian mountains and
surrounding rural areas. So many people associate cabins with the
mountains and perhaps that is still the norm for vacation retreats
today. However, though there are still a very few cabins used as primary
residences, most mountain and rural homes are more modern that the one
shown here. The board and batten siding is reminiscent of the 30's and
40's era with the scene, itself, one that you could easily find today.
