Lucas lives at Haywood in Eastern Kentucky. The four oils depict family gardening for the table. Lucas did a series of oils in the late 1970s & early 1980s depicting scenes of the immediate area where he lived. Coal mining had ceased in the early 1950s where his father worked as a miner. His grandfather was a union boss. Soon after this period of paintings Lucas becomes much edgier, reflecting changing forces in area life. Excellent condition now framed to 7 5/8″ x 9 5/8″.
