Description

Growing up, I have always loved opossums. They are unique little creatures that bring a bit of joy to my life whenever I stumble upon them. The inspiration behind this piece is a mixture of my love for possums and the story "How the Opossums Lost His Beautiful Tail" by Kathi Smith Littlejohn. While also utilizing southeastern designs.
