Illustration Friday: Flying
My dog, Milo, has a one-track mind. He loves to play fetch. He would fetch all day long if he could. I drew this picture while sitting on the banks of the South Fork of the Boise River, and while I was drawing the landscape, Milo kept dragging all manner of riverside debris over to me to throw, so he could retrieve it. An osprey flew overhead just as Milo was dragging a large stick (which some people may have considered a log) to my feet. Milo looked intently at the bird, and I could almost read his mind.
This drawing was done in my Moleskine with colored pencil and India ink. Text was added in Photoshop.

I love seeing Grettas brother loving life as much as he should... and teaching us what life is about.
Awesome drawing of your doggy in the mountains!
Wow ! Beautiful work...
Oh! This FEELS like Idaho! I lived there for a year and a half, and walked daily along the Big Wood River. I can almost smell it. This is a wonderful sketch.
Thanks everyone!
