Prairie Home Companion. Hand-painted watercolor of an abandoned “Dust Bowl” farm house, southwest Kansas in the American Midwest in the mid 1930’s.

The Dust Bowl got its name after Black Sunday, April 14, 1935. More and more dust storms had been blowing up in the years leading up to that day. In 1932, 14 dust storms were recorded on the Plains. In 1933, there were 38 storms. By 1934, it was estimated that 100 million acres of farmland had lost all or most of the topsoil to the winds. By April 1935, there had been weeks of dust storms, but the cloud that appeared on the horizon that Sunday was the worst. Winds were clocked at 60 mph. Then it hit. The day after Black Sunday, an Associated Press reporter used the term “Dust Bowl” for the first time.

Original watercolor is 11″ x 14″ painted on Arches cold-press watercolor 100% long cotton fiber paper. It has been sold.
