I'm not sure if the artistic talent has truly been transmitted to the next generation, but your son's makin' a good try.  Yours is great, and I wish you luck in bringing it to reality.   Ron

There is a whole science behind what you are doing there, it's called "previsualization".  You see basketball players doing it as they stand at the top of the key for the freethrow.  They pantomime a perfect shot, they see it long before it happens.  Golfers do it with their little practice strokes, big-shot archers do it, too. 

Now, don't you wish you had drawn a bigger buck on the rock? 

I think you have a great tradition in the makings here.  Not to mention, it's some pretty nice art.

Have a gooder!

Thanks for the replies fellas!

M-P, he's six so I think his art skills will become better w/ time. 

J-dub, I knew what I was doing when I drew it.  I didn't want to be too greedy.  A nice buck is good for me.  If by chance I have the blessing of a big buck all the better, but I'll shoot a doe too.  ;) I need meat in the freezer more than antlers.

Thanks again Guys and like J-dub said, Have a gooder!! dp
