FRIDAY ART BLOGGING-and now for something completely different

well, this was for an assignment. 4 figure paintings outside of class. another one i did for it was medicine crow, so....
well, i was taking a modern history class at the time and was going thru old LIFE magazines in the basement and i found this pic of this black man who was said to be 117 years old. charlie had been born a slave(it was a early 70's issue). and in the article he said, when he got a tad tired he would sit. and he looked so sweet. i really liked how i painted this almost sketchy. by the way, he is sitting in front of a screendoor.
i have a collection of old black and white photos i would like to paint like this one. someday.
