Lake Polly

This sketch happened while i was in the canoe on the north end of Lake Polly while the guys were trying to fish. Notice the smudges from the lake splashing into the canoe. I found it very challenging to draw waves and water.

each twisted root reminded me about the desire to survive, 

to hang on, 

the need to never let go...
