Here's a close up look at "Full Moon Raccoon" by local Florida artist Regina Stahl Briskey. This painting depicts the work of two skilled cowdogs treeing a racoon, a common hunting practice throughout Florida during the early 1900s.

This work is currently on display at the Ag Museum in our latest exhibit, "The Art of Regina Stahl Briskey." Her artwork will be on exhibit through mid-October, and select pieces are available for purchase.
