Kite cover illustration

I finished this second cover for Houghton Mifflin this morning. This is a digital painting I did in Photoshop, painted over a scanned pencil sketch.

*(This morning I added a word verification security device to the "Post Comments" page to help prevent spammers. I've been getting a lot of spam lately and this is one of the ways to combat it. If you'de like to leave a comment, please feel free to do so as usual. The only difference will be the extra few seconds to complete the word varification. I'll keep it up for a week or so and see how it affects my torturous spam influx).
