Cover image by Steven Johnson “Those Winter Sundays”, after a poem by Robert Hayden. It was featured on the Cover of the student art show brochure at Sierra College and achieved Honorable Mention at the California State Fair. Johnson came across Hayden’s poem in an anthology called “Every Shuteye Ain’t Asleep” and it moved him immediately. “It’s interesting when you paint something that you feel strongly about, it comes through to the viewer.”
