Tommy pir8fan is next Elder in line. From now on I am only going to post the entire progression from start to finish , once...when I paint one of you.
Also, I will ALWAYS ask your permission before I paint/post you. I did not ask in the past and so far no-one has had an issue, but I never want to make anyone uncomfortable. Tommy did give me permission . Painting is therapy for me. I highly recommend it 
Could be a way to keep hands busy instead of smoking
Heres progression of Dale...a.k.a. JonesCarpeDiem ( Dale , I am not sure how long this will take to dry but I will send it to you once I know it is )
When I don't think it's possible, you continue to grow in your application of the medium and improve your capture of the personality of your subject.
Bravo!!!
