Blitz follows her nose to the prize.
Blitz took me pheasant hunting last week. I think she would drive herself if she had thumbs. Luckily, she needs a gunner tagging along. It’s my joy to watch this girl living her bliss. I captured this hunting moment in watercolor, and pen and ink.

Beautiful drawing. Love the color of Blitz and of the grass. Blitz is some dog. Now Mary gets to prepare all those pheasants, after you pick, gut, and clean them up of course. 🙂

Blitz looks proud. It’s like each pheasant is a ‘like’ for her.

So true, she lives for this. After each one she would get more excited. Instead of being worn out at the the end of the day, she was ready to keep going. I was worn out.

You captured her bliss and showed your own at the same time. Really nice image, perfect in that it carries all that is necessary and draws us in as you drew it out.
That is why they call it art.

Tim,
What a terrific idea to show us the hiding pheasant. I’ve never seen anything like this. You bring treasures to your readers and Blitz brings them to the table with a little help from those she loves.
