Her painting is titled “A Gift Between Friends.” It features Rudolph presenting a gift to his old friend Drew, the decoy coyote at lighthouse. The 11”x17” prints of this year’s cover image are $20 each plus shipping, and can be ordered from Virginia Souza, Painted Pirate Gallery, 649 St. George Rd, S. Thomaston, ME 04858.
