“A Madsen Perspective”

| The imagery of
this
banner shows the Madsen head frame. It is looking over my neighbourhood
in Madsen at sunset. There is a slight view of Beaver Dam Lake
and the second road used to get into Madsen. This banner reflects the history of the district because Madsen was once a great mining community in the Red Lake region, with its own “everything” and now it has faded away into what we know it as today. I am proud to call Madsen my home so I wanted to paint something that would make people stop, look at the banner and say, “That’s Madsen!” I think I might have succeeded. |
