My parents homesteaded in central Alberta after World War II and money was short. They did their best to provide us with toys, always hand-made or hand-me-downs, to keep us entertained. It was an era of hardship and poverty, but we were delighted with whatever we got no matter how well used it was. This painting celebrates two children (my brother and me) enjoying everyday activities in a world not yet material.
