Nathan, this is a very good and expressive painting of the great man. I hope I will look as good in 3 years time when I am 90. Your brush strokes are careful yet lively, just what I would wish on my own paintings. Still time to try. All your paintings are excellent.

An attempt at a portrait of the great man @davidattenborough. After watching his Netflix show the other day I felt inspired to paint him. I tried to capture his energy and determination to change the road humanity is on. Energy and determination that would be incredible for anyone, let alone someone in their 90s. Oil on recycled greyboard.
