But getting the white gradient on his head is going to be really hard.

All good! I often wondered what I could have done with a decent art teacher. I had two days with a painter I really respected and that was it.

Instruction helped along the way Dave but I have seen stuff she did in high school that was simple charcoal...
Stuff that was better than I could do with a camera. I might dig around. I think some of it is still around.

Hey Dave, when you're mobile again, some senior centers provide seniors with art lessons.....just in case you need a place to start.

Just kidding, I'm most impressed with the art you have shared with us.

Headed over to RI today. The area near Beavertail light is a popular place for folks to work on their art. Here's one woman I saw today. The other photo is an art installation at an historic windmill. The flowers are crocheted poppies. Added a nice touch of color.
