Description
Medium: Acrylic/water based/exterior paint with a finish Description: Inspired by research on the history of the 1925 relay including historical figures Dr. Curtis Welch, along with mushers Leonhard Seppala and Gunnar Kaasen, accompanied by their legendary sled dog teams led by Balto, Togo and Fox. Included are symbols of the life-saving medicine, tools and the microscopic bacteria of the disease. The background is a blizzard and landscape of what the heroes endured and survived to save others. About the artist: Dawn Crandall always loved to draw and paint.
