Excellent Marjorie. Wonderful colours and good contrast.

Nicely done. Has a strong look of Eric Cantona Marjorie?

It’s a beautiful pastel portrait Marjorie, but as to who it is I’m totally in the dark.

You’re right, Jim. In his younger days. Thanks Stuart and Paul.🙂

Instantly recognisable - the man and the artist!

Glad most of you recognised him, didn’t get him exactly. Appreciate the looking and commenting as always.

A marvelous, beautiful portrait, Marjorie!! Just curious…. How long did you take for? Thanks

A couple of hours I think, it’s just in one of my pastel pads and not my favourite paper. My favourite is Canson “ Touch” which has a fine but abrasive surface. It doesn’t wear away my soft pastels which are Unison.
