A charming painting of a charming character. A person that everyone would want to be their Grandfather!

Thank you all,

Garth,
you remember that we both entered this forum about a year ago ?
I guess that I have learned more from it than you thanks to people like you.

Jean,
I will come back with more paintings of him, so you will get to know him better. He is also an artist in many ways. I can

I want to meet him. His face tells a wonderful story, this is your best by far. I'm drawn immediately to his soft eyes, I wouldn't change anything. I believe that portraiture is more than applying paint in a pleasing way, technically perfect strokes, proper chroma and value. It also needs to tug at the heart and you have succeeded here in a grand way.

Jean
