Yellowknife is the capital and the largest community in the Northwest Territories, Canada. It is located on the northern shore of Great Slave Lake, about 400 km south of the Arctic Circle, on the west side of Yellowknife Bay near the outlet of the Yellowknife River.
The name “Yellowknife” comes from a local Dene tribe, known as the “Copper Indians” or “Yellowknife Indians”, who are now incorporated as the Yellowknives Dene First Nation. These indigenous people traded TOOLS made from COPPER deposits near the Arctic Coast. The term ‘YELLOWKNIFE’ was coined by European explorers and cartographers over 200 years ago in honor of the Indigenous Dene that they met in the 1700s. The Europeans named the nearby river and the city after the copper tools the Dene carried.

Luke 1:46
"And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,"
 Jer.24:2
"One basket had very good figs, even like the figs that are first ripe: and the other basket had very naughty figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad."

 Antoine Vollon
Antoine Vollon was greatly influenced by the superb still life painter Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin, and followed in his love of simple food and kitchen related genre subjects.
At his most expressive, Vollon’s thick, fluid impasto paint strokes gave visceral presence to the term “buttery”, that painters use to describe paint that flows off the brush in consistency that is workably fluid but thick enough to be manipulated as brushstrokes. This is seen in the remarkable brushwork of his aptly chosen subject of Mound of Butter (above, top with detail crop).
