This work depicts Clyde Jones' iconic Bynum, North Carolina home "Critter Crossing", where he made his critters, as well as paintings of penguins, butterflies, elephants, and pandacows (his version of the Belted Galloways in residence at Fearrington Village), since 1982. In addition to welcoming any and all fans to see his creations at his home, he also did a variety of demonstrations and benefit events for local organizations and charitable causes. In 2002, the Chatham Arts Council honored him as the first “Chatham County Cultural Treasure” and held the first Clydefest in his honor.

Good estate condition.
