Description
Fox and Forget-Me-Nots
Early in her life in Alaska, Shannon spent a summer in the community of Hope. During that time, she had many encounters in the forest and coastal areas. This painting was inspired by her encounters with a fox and the many blooms of the state flower, the forget-me-not, that she saw that summer.
Printed in Alaska on matte paper that meets the Sustainable Forest Initiative guidelines that promote responsible management of the world’s forests.
