This is an homage to our beloved, dearly departed Drifter. He was a very special friend. I did this one for an A.P. reporter and photographer the other day. I was looking through the family photo album for an idea for a subject, and saw this picture of Drifter. Seemed like a good thing to do. This canvas was very hard to work with. It's rained lightly off and on for the past month, and this one built up over a month or so and was very crusty and hard to work. Maybe I'm just getting spoiled with the "artificially" created canvasses.
