Its amazing work, especialy from memory, his face is full of lifes ups and downs, well done.

Dignity and perserverence, although trampled and scuffed, shall rise through the day. Our banners of hope must flutter despite torn ragged edges. To voice of another's life with such a palpable emotion of expression is an extraordinary gift. Wishing you great accolades and recognition for your incredible effort and superb talent.

Thanks ever so much Rod!

I don't know where Rod gets his quotes from of whether he has a gift for words but I couldn't say it any better. Although not an attractive portrait (in the sense of pretty) this speaks a million words that words could never express. I could never hope to come anywhere near this talent. To me this is what art is all about. A life, a character, a history without having to speak. Just amazing.

Thanks Diana, I understand, Rod is blessed!
