A young farmer in denim overalls sweeps a redhead off her feet in a joyful hug beside an old green wheelbarrow, while a boy in a straw hat and overalls looks on with a basket in hand. A stone wall, a red barn and a field of ripe grain stretch out behind them under tall summer clouds. In his note on the painting, Daly writes about the immigrants who came through Ellis Island and moved west to farm the heartland, where families and neighbors bonded together to work the land and get through hard times.

Offset lithograph printed by Litho-Krome Company on museum quality, acid-free, pH neutral coated paper, published from Daly's 1995 oil painting on masonite. Pencil signed "Jim Daly" at lower right and numbered 314/5000 at lower left, with the plate signature "Jim Daly © 1995" painted on a stone at lower left. The margin carries the title and the line "Published from an oil painting." The edition was 5,000 signed and numbered prints plus 76 artist's proofs, with a separate Prestige Edition of 950.

Jim Daly was born in 1940 in Holdenville, Oklahoma, and studied at the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles.

U.S. Art magazine named him to its Hall of Fame in 1992.
