"Grain Harvest" (1999) is a lively and detailed painting showing a day of traditional harvest work ending with an evening gathering. The golden grain symbolizes prosperity and abundance, while the golden domed church in the background highlights spiritual blessing and community. The night scene after the work, lit by the moon and lanterns, strengthens the feeling of continuity and togetherness of the villagers. The strong colors emphasize the beauty and vitality of the message. Precise brushstrokes in the style of Russian naive painting emphasize the energy and dynamism of the scene. True to her origins, the artist follows the Hasidic style, not depicting people concretely but telling the story of specific people through personal attributes. In this painting, she includes herself. She loves to pass on aesthetic beauty in this way and enriches every viewer who loves storytelling.
