Trivia Winner

And the winner is . . . Robin Cruz McGee!!! Robin’s prize is a free, original ACEO created by moi. Pics to come later!

Robin is a fellow Artist at EBSQ where he delights us with his creations in metal and on paper.

I can never remember a time when I did not know I was an artist. Yet, for many years I believed I would earn my living elsewhere. After time spent in those other avenues, I eventually came back around to pick that thing I had kept only for special occasions and became an artist.

I was afraid after a day of little interest that my trivia question was too difficult, but I just knew there had to be someone out there who had passed through North Georgia. Yonah Mountain is well known to anyone who lives near Cleveland or Helen.

As it turns out, Robin did some repelling off the cliffs around Yonah Mountain as a young man. How cool!

Yonah is the Cherokee word for Bear. It makes a perfect backdrop for my Black Bear family that I will start painting today. And yes, there are Black Bears in Georgia!
