In this banner, the
sun is
setting behind the saw mill on Howey Bay. There is a beaver that
is “helping” move the logs.
Seeing this banner will remind people of the saw mill that used to be
on Howey Bay. For those too young to remember the saw mill, this
will show them that it was a big part of Red Lake’s history.
When I first joined the banner program I wasn’t sure what to do on my
banner since this isn’t my art style. I chose the Howey Bay saw
mill because I thing that it was a big part of Red Lake’s history and
my Grampa Bill Shewchuk ran a saw mill as well. I added a
touch of me with the cartoon beaver. It is more like some of the
other “silly” artworks that I have created in the past.
