"Elkton Bridgehead"

This title is a misnomer. The term "bridgehead" implies strategic significance and that's just simply untrue in this case. :)

"Under Hellbender Bluff" - a watercolor by Nate Dray

"Under Hellbender Bluff"
12 x 16 inches, Watercolor

Hellbender Bluff is a rocky outcropping along the Little Beaver Creek in Columbiana County Ohio known for hosting one of the largest extant breeding populations of the endangered Hellbender Salamander. They are really big, up to 2 feet, and need clean fast-flowing oxygenated water with lots of rocks to hide under. Considered a reliable indicator species, Hellbenders can't survive in polluted waters.

 Album Cover color rough.

Soon after doing this drawing, I lost it. Disappeared. Months later it surfaced. Then it sat stretched on a board 3/4 of the way finished for a year or so...

This is a color rough for the back cover art on the band ALBUM's album "Majestic Silvereye."

“Green Wave Break over Mike Lusk’s Lock (no, his kid isn’t buried in it)”

“Green Wave Break over Mike Lusk’s Lock (no, his kid isn’t buried in it)”

Lusk was an English engineer who built beautiful locks. Contracted for a couple in the 1830s for the Sandy and Beaver Canal. There are sad stories about how this work in the howling Ohio wilderness adversely affected his life and family.

Did some drawing for this year's Yo-Ice...
