'Down Between the Rivers' complete

The hooking is complete. Getting a photograph of this piece was difficult.

Turkey, Texas

Where is Turkey, Texas?

I often hear that question.

Turkey is on the rolling plains of Texas, far enough west to be considered West Texas and far enough north to be part of the Texas Panhandle. It is 45 miles from Childress, Texas.

Turkey has a population of about 500 people.

'Down Between the Rivers' in progress

I have begun work on a series about my father and his music. This first piece will be titled 'Down Between the Rivers'. It depicts in a childlike manner where my father grew up. There are five fish in the river on the top and five fish in the river on the bottom, one fish for each child in the family. I have the cotton rows and the fish left to hook. I haven't measured it yet but it is over 2 feet by 3 feet.
