70 year old guide by sam newton

this is so characterful Sam, you have captured his expression so well, not to mention how amazing it is that he is still working as a guide at 70!

Thanks, I had to paint him with his eyes closed as that was the way the photo was taken....I think his face just looks so interesting and tells a story....I enjoyed painting him and its the first time I have picked up the brushes since I had an operation to remove a brain tumour 7 1/2 weeks ago, so feel its an achievement for me
