Neil

"Neil & King" burnt sienna earth pigment and water.

An homage to my favorite musician of all time, Neil Young. I've taken the image from the inside gatefold of "Everybody Knows This is Nowhere". I believe the puppy in the picture to be Neil's dog, King, but I can't be certain. He references the dog again on his 1992 album "Harvest Moon" with the song "Old King". Not my favorite song of his, but it is a touching
reminiscence about the bond between a man and his dog. Thus, the drawings title.
