Thanksgiving

My son, who is running a grain elevator at the busiest time of the year, took off from his sixteen hour a day schedule to make a six hour round trip to be with the family and me (on my birthday). He made two family Thanksgiving dinners then went back to Northern Kentucky to go straight back to work tonight.

While I'm waiting to finish the boat and the Tom Tilly cover, here's an old watercolor from fifteen years ago...

COLOR COMP BEFORE THE FINAL....

got a little way to go on this...

Tom Tilly pencil sketch for cover

I think I'm going to go with the more realistic Tom...gonna transfer it to illustration board or 300 pound Arches and then get busy.
