Time for something a bit different

[Issabella]

OMG, I don't have words seeing your awesome portraits. I think like Tas_mania. Go on!

[Ella]

We've had McCartney and Harrison, so now Leonard Cohen (for Ella Louise, who also favours him!). Actually I probably 'bit off more than I can chew' with this portrait, as ageing faces have many subtle nuances ... more to learn!

Well done, OMG , no need to post the name of who it is.
And thank you for thinking of me by making the portret of Leonard Cohen.
I love the lyrics of many songs by Leonard Cohen.

One of my favorites ...
"There is a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in."
But that you know

Tas_mania, level_0, Issabella and Ella Louise - thank you all for your very kind comments.

May have mentioned this before, but in the early 1960s I spent some time as a young teenager living in France; a certain young lady with long tresses, named Francoise Hardy, captivated me and to this day I still remember the words of her first hit song 'Tous les garçons et les filles ...'.

She is still around and so I painted her as part of my ongoing learning exercise ...

[Erisian]

I'm also a Leonard Cohen fan so thank you for that. Awesome work OMG!

I'm having a lot of fun and learning a lot at the same time ... hope this portrait streak is not becoming boring. Two more sketches this time of persons unknown, the second one with some photo manip elements.

[level_0]

OMG,
you're not at all boring, it's always nice to see your achievements.

[Pat625]

Your portraits are wonderful. Never boring!

[oldmangrumpy]

Pat and level_0 - thank you. I was going through some old photos of a trip to Norway and found one of the locals I met there

[Pat625]

Such a nice looking friend! Has he met Gollum yet?

[level_0]

OMG
What a beautiful troll!
