Cooper Magical Portrait

This is a commissioned magical portrait of a little boy that is very mischievous. His spirit and pose made me think of him as a little elfin boy trying to ride a grasshopper, which would be a wild ride. It reminded me that my father was a pilot in WWII flying a small Piper Cub aircraft, whose nickname was "grasshopper". He told me stories of some pretty wild rides in his Piper plane!
