Drawing #26


SOLD

Drawing of a friend (Chris).  Let’s say it’s in his younger days since I unintentionally made him look younger.  Oh well – could be worse.   About the portrait…

His eyes and hands are important for his art, although I’d like to suggest that his perceptions are equally important.  His art is not a matter of seeing and doing as much as understanding what is before him.   These things all come together within his frame of reference:  the lotus flower (way of thinking), the closed mouth (way of speaking / listening), and the glasses with reflections (way of seeing and remembering).
