For the first time in my life, while working on this I saw beauty in aging. I mean it. The wrinkles seemed to add character to this man's face. Despite his age, all I can see when I look at him is hope and life.
Old Man
What lies behind those gleaming eyes?
And what underneath that silvern crown?
Is that prayer between those strained brows?
And hope hidden in the profound furrows?

wow. for a portrait that's worth a thousand words, you have just the right words and the right questions there. Good job!
Thanks Megha! :)
Nice painting.
I remember Neil Young's brilliant song,
"Old man, look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were..."
And these words were nice,
"Lullabies, look in your eyes,
Run around the same old town.
Doesn't mean that much to me
To mean that much to you."
Touched by the painting and the lines that followed. I have no words... am so proud of you!
Thanks philramble.
I've not heard that song. I am not sure how to interpret the second set of lines. Will have to think about it. :)
