Lost Naval Mine and Kids

I am working on some illustrations to have with me for the Local Author Fair (I need to check the name on that), so that I can also sell the orginals while I’m sitting there convincing people to buy copies of Battle Rattle and Other Stories and also, possibly, Operation Iraqi Freedom is My Fault. All the inked ones will be 11x17 on Bristol board. The idea is to one day have illustrated versions of the books, and then do larger paintings of any of the stuff that feels like it should be bigger. This is one of the ones that I plan to do a lot larger and do in oil. I don’t know when I will get to it, but now that I have this down to this point, I am ready to get busy on the bigger one when the time arrives.
