A Challenge and Cleaning...


"Economic Contribution" Acrylic on canvas by Maria Roberts
Early governors saw the women convicts as economic burdens on the colony. Current feminist analysis recognises that the work done by the women in house-keeping, child-rearing, baking, sewing, cleaning, washing in the Tank Stream (pictured), etc. is an economic contribution still unacknowledged.
I really like this painting...although...it is a reminder that I need to get busy Saturday and do a Deep cleaning on the house!LOL....A job that just keeps repeating itself!! Also, don't forget the Brenda Photo Challenge is tomorrow!! Go sign up and get your pictures ready for visitors in the morning!! Everybody's welcome!
Ya'll have a Wonderful weekend!!!

What a nice picture. There seems to be such a stiff breeze blowing. I know what you mean about housework being a job that keeps repeating itself. Why can't it just stay done?

Hi Donna, Thank goodness that women's worth is appreciated now days but sadly that is not the case in some contries. I love the painting as it depicts the hard work women had to endure in the past. We are so lucky with our mod cons to help us.

Beautiful painting. I need to do some deep cleaning too but don't seem to have the energy yet to do so.
