My father's selfie
Comments

I like this Cesare, it looks like you captured your father's bemused expression superbly. I notice you live in the beautiful city of Padova, I'm half Italian and know it quite well as my mother was born there.

Thank you Susan for your kind comment. I'm glad to hear your mother is born in Italy. I suppose you speak a bit Italian.

Great drawing and a clever use of the water-soluble pastel

Thank you David for your kind comment.

Thanks Cesare. I could speak Italian when I was very young as I used to regularly visit my grandparents and other relatives in Padova, where my mother was born.

A great success Cesare, his character shines through.

Thank you Marjorie for your kind comment.

This is a lovely portrait of your father, Cesare.

Thank you, Shirley.

I like it too Cesare. Change from your usual.

Thank you, Michael.

Water-soluble pastel and wash. My father was a good photographer. I painted this portrait from a shot he took from himself for joke. Maybe one of the first selfies a long time ago.
