Dustbowl 1930's
I recently read the book 'The Worst Hard Time' by Timothy Egan written about the history of the great dustbowl in the Oklahoma Panhandle, Texas, Kansas and Colorado. It prompted me to go online and research some archival photos. This is one that I sketched. I wanted to capture the ominous nature of this phenomenon. We grew up in Kansas. My mom was a teenager when this was going on and told me some days were "...just plain dark outside...".
The book is a well written bit of history.
It's always an adventure...
