South Dakota artist is inspired by local candid raccoon photographBy COBY LaRUEStaff While a picture of raccoons raiding a bird feeder that ran in an issue of The Alleghany News appears to be little more than a cute reminder of a back-porch adventure, South Dakota resident Debra Many-Carson saw just a little bit more. |
RASCALS - This print by South Dakota artist Debra Many-Carson was inspired by a local photograph. |
Debra Many-Carson is shown above in the wilderness of northern South Dakota, a place where she likes to spend as much of her time as possible. |
Carson, who once lived in Sparta but now lives in Aberdeen, used the photo for inspiration in producing a painting that is now a nationally-available print. The print is titled "Rascals" and it was made commercially available in early May of this year. |
