Grandfather Portrait

Greetings fellow artists or art loves from around the world. This red ballpoint pen grandfather portrait is one of my all time favorite ink drawings. I simple love the way it came out, its bold line work or over all mood of the picture. The dark red, long flowing lines and lovely soft or subtle half tones really please me as a person or artist! Hopefully, you folks also cherish or value this style of portrait?***** This fine portrait was excellent for this particular layout or format, so I would think. I believe this illustration works well, represents what my design or project called fore plus displays a great level of quality desired by those involved. I definitely believe our grandparents, elders or senior citizens deserve much respect and thanks for what they have provided us all or me. I am very pleased and honored to display this artwork to this great forum fore your enjoyment. Your friend and fellow artist, Jerry Stith.

Jerry, At first I thought this was Leonardo! How is that for a compliment! He was one of my boyhood heroes as a Universal Man ("Hey, this guy can do anything he sets his mind and determination and skills to do."), and still is. Jerome

Flawless artistry Jerry, excellent portfolio

Michael Easter 20 Feb 2007

There is so much character and interest in this piece. It should be the cover of time magazine or something. So wondeful.

I love old people, they always have old, old history to talk about, to share. It is a joy to be with the ones I visit, just being with them brings smiles to their faces and eyes. I love old people!!! This is beautiful art jerry, but this is the one face-expression, I fear to see on the elderly. . . like a "no one cares" look. Peace Jerry, and Happy St. Valentine to you.

Dan Mark 02 Jan 2007

Well, the face reminds me of Da Vincis face in old days, but you handwork... have to say that Durer would be proud of you. :)

Jim Perkins 01 Jan 2007

Great Work...

Lady Lazarus 29 Dec 2006

Interesting work

David Holcombe 27 Dec 2006

This portrait has a melancholy look. It reminds me of Rembrandt sketches, or even the face of the older da Vinci. The double framing and text are a bit distracting since the image stands well on its own.

Mary Ashton 26 Dec 2006

Super capture of his character Jerry, very well done. Mary

Neil lecy 25 Dec 2006

Stevan Lund 11 Nov 2006

All of your artwork is wonderful!

Jacob Thomas 08 Nov 2006

Not bad Jerry. I've got to admit though I'd rather see your work without the type treatment. You have a lot of very detailed line work so when your design becomes too busy that line work gets lost. I'd have confidence in your ablitiy and not hide it with all of the other stuff. Food for thouht.

Cherie Lambiase 05 Nov 2006

I don't know what it is with age, but you move me with expression. I feel sympathy with this portrait. Very moving! Cherie
