Alma Jo Barrera of Texas was one of the few women to get seriously into BMX freestyle in the 80's. I got to know her then, and we reconnected on Facebook a year or so ago. She asked me to do a series of drawings for her. This one, of her and her dog Ali near a river, was a new challenge for me. With my style, faces don't always come out well, and I'd never drawn rushing water, which is a lot trickier to do than it sounds. But I gave it my best shot, and added the color bars top and bottom to play off the color in Ali's collar. Sharpies on paper, 18" X 24".
