Description
This team is comprised of my own dogs, dogs from Points Unknown in Minnesota, dogs from 2019 Denali trip and other Alaskan trips. My goal was to portray the work ethic of these magnificent animals that often meant the difference between life and death. There are many stories of dogs and drivers overcoming seemingly unsurmountable odds, however, an essay by Joe May about the 1986 Yukon Quest was the primary inspiration. Joe’s essay and an ounce of gold nuggets he won in 1986 are framed and accompany this painting at Western Spirit Museum.
