Portrait of the artist.

This is so full of character and a few thousand stories to tell Michael. Love it.

Thanks Carole. It’s been a long journey. I’m worn out.

But never defeated Michael x

Not defeated yet! Good portrait!

Well you were never bored Michael! A wonderful characterful face that’s seen it all x

Thanks Linda and Carole.

Don't say you're worn out and defeated! You're only 4 years older than I am - and Alan Owen's in the region of 90 - nay nay, lad! Say not the struggle naught availeth! I'm sure I see signs of life beneath the hat and behind the glasses.

Hello Michael, looks like you've had a life well lived ... the man of mystery revealed!

Great portrait, Michael.

Thanks Cesare. I still look at your excellent portrait of me from a few years back.
