187CHARLES FRITZ Abundant Blessings oil36 x 42 inches$25,000–35,000“Ole Rolvaag’s famous novel, Giants in the Earth, brings to life the full breadth of the homesteading experience here on the northern plains. These people toiled through the petulant seasons in hopes of attaining the promise, land and success in America. It was an arduous dream to attempt. This painting depicts a homesteader whose hard work has come to fruition and just maybe, that promise of abundant blessings is within reach.”—Charles Fritz
