Description
This pencil/charcoal sketch shows Dawn working at a domestic task she grew up doing with her mother -- baking bread. The family log cabin remained Dawn's home much of the time until she married. She took artistic license in drawing the cabin's interior, for she included the wood range her mom was all too glad to replace with a propane stove when Dawn was about 10. The cat is also unusual -- the family didn't keep cats and dogs as a rule (not wanting them to prey upon the wild animals that abounded around the cabin) but Dawn did rescue several feral felines that had been dumped along the county road.
