thank you for this morning , a portrait like this is just not done today , lost craft and art ....keeping it alive is what I thank you for. He is like that stump of a tree behind him , it looks like it's been cut down , but it is still alive with new branches refuses to give in ....
 
Awesome. Wonderful. Thank you for sharing this.
 
Amazing! Really love this, Bertus. The picture is really vivid, and full of life.
 
Nicely done. The use of lith here is a good match for the subject. Pictorialism lives. :smile:
