  Beautiful work. Great draftsmanship and I love how you handled the boat’s reflection in the water.

  Impressive control all the way through. I studied the reflection of the boat so hard, that only on the third viewing did I notice the little bird quietly making his way across the drawing. Excellent that one can come back to a picture several times and still find something.

  BTW, I suppose this is winter so there aren’t people floating down the river.

  thanks Bryan, Marco, Kirby, Joseph, and Chepablo, for the generous comments. Yes, it’s winter, but very mild compared to others. I was wearing ski pants, two coats, and gloves when I sketched this one.
