A Sunflower for the Cole Home
Melanie & J.D. Cole with their daughter, visited our booth at the Alaska State Fair and added a “Sunflower” to their growing collection of art. Both Melanie and J.D. are teachers at Palmer Middle School, J.D. is the art instructor. He came to my rescue a few years ago while painting the wildflower mural in Seward, Alaska, and volunteered to help. Because of his skill for detail as an artist, I assigned him the most difficult job to paint all the veins in each Iris, and he did it beautifully. Thank you Melanie and J.D, you are the best!
