Moonshine Tobacco
🌙 Moonshine Tobacco 🌿✨
This piece captures the beauty of North Carolina’s tobacco fields, glowing under the moonlight just before harvest. It’s a nod to the deep roots of our state's history — where hardworking families found ways to survive, like running moonshine in the early 1900s. Those same fields witnessed the rise of a bootlegging era that shaped the lives and legacies of many in NC.
Moonshine runners lived a life on the edge, navigating rugged backroads and outwitting lawmen under the cover of darkness. Their grit and resourcefulness didn’t just put food on the table — it sparked a culture of ingenuity and self-reliance. Many would say those same skills laid the foundation for modern stock car racing.
This painting is a tribute to that legacy, reminding us of the strength and determination it took to keep families afloat.
