"Yukon Fox" earns top FAV15% (jury's favorite 15% of the entries) August 2020 BoldBrush Painting Competition
I was a cook in the Yukon for a mineral exploration company for whom my oldest son also was working. Although it was the most difficult job I have ever done, I am richer for the experience. I was chief cook and bottle washer (hardest part), cleaning and laundry lady, plus, First Aid attendant (most stressful part).
The challenges were many, among which was navigation, should I have to respond to an emergency in the field. I was not familiar with the lay of the land ... enter this young lady! A Keno native, she is an outdoor enthusiast as well as an amazingly capable, thoughtful, and kind individual who, among all her other duties, was my navigator. This painting pays homage to her spirit, youth and beauty.
