A sketch of an old fellow I will eventually do in colored pencil. He's sitting on a bench with his dog on a leash at his feet. I like the far away look he has. It makes me wonder where his mind is.

About Me
- Pierre
- Long, long ago, during the last century, I attended PSU in Portland, Oregon and bounced around in different majors. I thought I would be an artist for a while but science captured my interest. I eventually landed in Engineering and spent my career designing various mechanical things. I've returned to my artist roots and have been drawing portraits. For now, I'm only working in graphite. I'm also just drawing from photos. That way, I don't have to be concerned about my subject getting too tired to hold a pose. I like doing candid shots of strangers because it makes for a more interesting subject. --- My wife and I have moved to Phoenix, Arizona from Oregon to be close to our kids and grandkids. What a weather change! Our children grew up in the Pacific Northwest around rain and green but they all congregated in Phoenix. The moss on our backs has dryed up and fallen off. We're slowly getting accustomed to dry and brown.

I like the ink lines a lot.
Is this from a photo?
From a photo, yes. It's graphite. I didn't change the color in Photo Shop. Thanks.
good job. I like it.
He's not only remembering something, he's weighing something. Assessing something. Maybe seeing something new; changing his mind.
Karin,
What came to mind with this sketch was the Doobie Brother's "What a Fool Believes".
She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He's watching her go
