    Yes, that's the Framed Print hanging on the front porch wall behind me! :^D I found this Don Churchfield Carved Woodblock signed and numbered 21/24 Print, at the Flea Market, on Saturday April 6th, 2024. I liked the Print, when I first saw it, and when the Seller said that it was done by a local Artist, made it even better! With a search when I got home, the only thing that I could find on Don Churchfield, was His Obituary, and here's a clip of that: Donald CHURCHFIELD Obituary
    CHURCHFIELD, Donald E. Donald E. Churchfield, an accomplished graphic designer and woodcarver who grew up in Petaluma when it really was the World's Egg Basket, died peacefully while surrounded by his loving family at Marin General Hospital on March 11, 2018 after a short illness. He was 95. Born in Denver on September 29, 1922 to Leo J. Churchfield and Lorena (Anderson) Churchfield of Sheridan, Wyoming, Don came to Petaluma with his mother's former cattle-ranching family in 1923 . . .
    With a little more searching, I found out more about Don Churchfield, and his Life and Work as a Graphic Designer, and Calligrapher, with a prominent Advertising, and Logo Design Company, in San Francisco, at the Time before, the use of Computers for Art Design. I couldn't find any other Works of Art, that Don Churchfield had done, but he worked on designing. the San Francisco Giants Baseball Logo that is used Today! To me, it looks like This Gold Panner, Art Print, could have been, an idea, for the San Francisco, Forty Niners Football Team, with the Magenta Color of the Print! Just my Thought! :^D
    I added the Back Label, from the Framing Company, might date it, with the Address and Phone number only! :^D Up-date in Comments! !

    Thank You for Looking, I'll try to add more information, as I get it, all Comments, or information on this post is welcome and appreciated! Bill :^)

      So, the Larkspur Store closed in 2011, and moved to Corte Madera, California, which is Closed for good now! From an article in "Patch":

      Ragged Sailor FInds New Port
      The frame shop and gallery has a new home in Corte Madera after more than 30 years in Larkspur.

      The Print was framed, before the Store in Larkspur was closed in 2011. Giving some sort of date period, but a 30year period! :^D
