Frontier Home Stead

This painting was made from a photo I shot a my friends reconstructed one room early 1700's log home in Pearisburg, VA.      This would have been the typical setting in many if not the majority of houses built on the Western Colonial Frontier by settlers who where either endentured servants who worked out their contract and had no money to settle in the east or no land was available for them to purchase at that time.     Some came to trap furs in Kentucky, western Virginia, the western parts of North Carolina, the western parts of Pennsylvania and New York.    These homes were mainly one room with a main fireplace and a loft for storage and older childeren slept.      Some of them were expanded as families grew larger or were used untill the owner wished to move on futher out west.    Painting is wrap around painted and dose not have tobe framed.
