Old age...A lot of character, beautifully expressed. Old age is so often uncomfortable for us, because everyone wants to grow old, but nobody wants to BE old. In fact, I think that life gets richer as we move on - beyond 40 and 50 - and faces become road maps of character, as in your portrait. This man's portrait at age 20 would have been just another young man; now, it is a portrait of a life lived, molded by time.Mineke Reindershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05706124823776632301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5350154858053233321.post-25222825439587298262009-07-05T15:42:57.436+02:002009-07-05T15:42:57.436+02:00Thank you Dean, and that map has both sad and happ...Thank you Dean, and that map has both sad and happy lines!Art with Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03433688529703445847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5350154858053233321.post-66373227260662442372009-07-05T14:48:48.484+02:002009-07-05T14:48:48.484+02:00Beautiful job, Liz.

It was a bit of a rush and I've since done a few adjustments so will maybe replace this photo. Love the dogs!!!<br /><br /><br />I think I'm in the same frame of mind as you, Marian - anyone older than me is OLD, but I'm not! Ha!

I think they were like 89 and 87 then.... so... uhhhh they WERE old.<br />When asked how she was my mom would always respond, "I'm HERE!"... Wish she still was. She passed at 91. <br />Dad's almost 91 now... still going great!!Marian Fortunatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11107085447074524162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5350154858053233321.post-91582107210536759782009-07-01T22:27:42.960+02:002009-07-01T22:27:42.960+02:00Liz...super portrait.

The way you do portraits (especially animal ones) is exceptional, so I really appreciate your comment.<br /><br /><br />What a lovely term Arti, 'weathered' sounds so much nicer than 'old'.
