This was one of the first paintings I did of the slave cabins. The subject matter is certainly difficult to convey - that is why I later decided to do a series that would collectively describe the scenes a bit more successfully. This painting was painted en plein air, or on-site, and the light was quite nice that afternoon. I also kept a fairly limited palette so as not to add extra confusion. This is actually one of my favorite paintings in the exhibit.
