So rich and such depth, hard to accomplish with pastel. Very emotional too, lovely job.

Thank you so much for your generous comments Mary. Much appreciated. He's a local character and agreed to pose for me after I had given him a ride home to save him from a long, hot walk.

Great portrait. Love the way you captured his expression with the penetrating eyes. Wonderful handling of the lights and shadows.
