I am quite drawn to this.. to me this appears as a Okinawan farmer.. I spent many years learning Gojuryu/Isshinryu karate -do.. I have seen this look before..
Artist Reply: You could be right Stewart. I find faces that are care worn, old, and wrinkled, fascinating. Their faces tell a story. I love painting faces of character.
So nice to here from you. Merry Christmas my friend. Thanks for stopping by!
