Good job! Looking too sad. Hope it's not how you feel.

Dave Matke
Artist Reply: Yes, it does look rather sad ... I was trying for a "second guess" kind of look. Thank you Nikolay for your comments : )

Charles nailed it. It's got a wood cut look. Are you familiar with Erich Heckel? Nicely done Dave.

Dave Matke
Artist Reply: Thank you John, this is like reverse scratchboard in a way ... instead of scratching away, I'm adding . Hope all going well for you : )
Dave Matke
Artist Reply: And yes, Heckel and all the other German expressionists .... all great influencers for me : )

This piece really has the 'woodblock' look to it, Dave. The face reminds me of Woody Guthrie. Great Work. I heard from Ray today on one of my images. All he said was, "Hi, Charles." At least we know he's somewhat okay.

Artist Reply: Thank you Charles , yes the woodblock look was intentional . Perhaps when I have more time I will start doing woodblocks again . Yes , Ray said hi to me as well. Hope he's doing ok . Here's to a good month for all : )
