This year marked Jon and my 40th anniversary.. To celebrate I thought I’d commission the talented Joan White of Wisconsin to recreate my favorite photo from beloved local photographer Rusty Cohn, He captured in Napa what I believe is the perfect moment of beaver pair bonding.
Joan liked it too and sent the sketch this week.
We had to flip the image because its on a beautiful cherry burl we selected prepared by her husband (also of 40 years!) had a mark that poked into the beavers head otherwise. She patiently tried a couple solutions and. I think this worked beautifully. She really is a rare and National Treasure.
.I can’t wait until this hangs on our wall’
