He looks very familiar Marjorie but I can't put a name to him. You are really good with charcoal, I find it too hard and messy, I need a shower after using it :)

"When the seagulls follow the trawler, it is because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea" A quote which had everyone baffled at the time, given the career he had.

Ihi Marjorie I don't watch television much and I never watch films so I don't know who it is but its superb no matter who it is.

Dennis, Eric Cantona, French footballer, ex Man United, who went on to appear in a few films. Not your average footballer!

That's why I didn't get him, footy not my thing Marjorie but it is a super portrait.

Posted by Carole Swingler on Thu 10 Mar 11:07:41
