...the reverence of the way this man held his cigarette and cigarette holder combined with his whole being surrounding the activity, intrigued me....
Graphite on Bristol...
it's so real I can smell the smoke!! x-ceptional job, as all your work. This one has a special character feel. and what do you suppose he thinking about?
Fantastic detail.He reminds me of an old fisherman.Weathered face.Terrific work.All the wrinkles and lines to his face,makes him look,like he has lots of stories to tell.
There's something different in this one, is it an earlier work? it is less smooth and I like that, but on the other hand, bit flat....keep looking in this area... Mieke
