This is just amazing! The guy in the boat makes me think of one of the Saturday Afternoon Post covers from years ago. I think you were channeling Norman Rockwell. #4685415

James Quantz Jr. August 23, 2007 0

Thanks everyone. It's great to hear back on an image completely constructed from the ground up using imagination. I'm almost convinced it's ready to make my portfolio.

Marsha, that's a startled version of myself in the boat! JQ #4685431
