Figurative Painting of Hands "Threading For Light" by Contemporary Realism Artist Carol A. McIntyre
Candle making & soap making were the two most time-consuming activities for the home (and critical). Using molds or tallow dipping were the two ways of making candles. Women collected the tallow from meat fats, bought the wicking & iron molds, and provided the skill & labor. Significant experience was necessary to be able to make dipped candles because the candle mixture must be just the right temperature for the candle to take another layer of wax. It is interesting to note that each candle had a brightness comparable to our 10 watt bulb and was used mainly for reading & sewing. Their lives in the winter were much darker than ours are today.

Figurative Painting of Hands "Made in America" by Contemporary Realism Artist Carol A. McIntyre
This painting depicts the ancient tradition of creating images on hides. Most often the decorated hides were used for spiritual ceremonies. Here the hand imagery on the moccasin, made with glass beads, represents the symbol of achievement in battle. In all of the cultures on the plains & prairies, it was the women's responsibility to pass on traditions to the next generation. Women nourished the finer parts of life.

Figurative Painting of Hands "Prizes Possession" by Contemporary Realism Artist Carol A. McIntyre
Many European Americans who left the East, took a few prized possessions to hold onto the life and culture they left behind. Prairie women are credited with being the active conservators of culture, as well as the "moral housekeepers & social housekeepers in the communities." A pump organ provided much needed pleasure to the often harsh life they lived. Such cultural activities served as a comforting barrier between them and the unknown world surrounding them.

Figurative Painting of Hands "A Golden Gathering" by Contemporary Realism Artist Carol A. McIntyre
The gathering and bundling of wheat were often a family, if not a community affair. Women played important roles in tending and harvesting a crop. These women were survivors and had little time to contemplate their situation. If something needed to be done, they were there to do it, dawn to dusk. There was not time for idle hands.
"A Golden Gathering," has been awarded several honors, including "People's Choice Award" and "First Place," in the Minnesota Watercolor Society Juried Show of 1999. It was also on the cover of Watercolor!, winter 2000.
