Very striking portrait, he looks wise and contemplative-very expressive work!

Artist Reply: So glad he caught your eye! I love faces that show character.

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!
