Allan,
I appreciate your stories of Egon and his wife and your drawing trips. This is what attracts me to portraiture in the first place. Every portrait is an impression of a human being who has a life, a soul, a personality. Endless subjects of interest. When I draw a portrait, especially from an old photograph I feel like I am getting to know the person, just through studying their features, their eyes, their expression. That is what is so good about your paintings. They all seem to tell a good story!!
I went back to your post of Egon to look at the drawing above his head and had a pleasant moment, just thinking about your story!
