 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)”

watercolor paint by Nate Dray of Lusk's Lock with trees and foliage Little Beaver Creek Columbiana County Ohio


“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.
