I combined two photographs so it was tricky. I’m never totally satisfied with what I do, but I know he wanted something like this, so I hope he likes it!

I used a photo of him on his boat and plugged it into a photo I took of one of his favorite launches up on Lake Erie.

He practically never wanders into my Art room so it’s not that hard. After I spray it with fixative I will put it out of sight, though.
