We took a tour to visit Cape Cod and islands in September 2014. I learned more history about the early pilgrims' life during the visit to the Plimoth Plantation. This place has an early English village containing the houses, animals, and gardens that depict the way of living back then in early 17th century. People in the village were dressing in the clothes for that era. It was interesting to see how people lived back then with limited things in the house. I felt fortunate and grateful that we get to enjoy so many modern convenience now in our lives. This girl was sitting in the kitchen working on chores. The light coming from the top window created a perfect composition for my painting. I felt the painting pulled me back in time to the 17th century as I placed each brush stroke.
