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 :paint

, 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 ...

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

Wallace, would you share the name of the font you used in post #268? It is very pretty and yet, very easily read.

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.

OMG,

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

Your portraits are wonderful. Never boring!

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 :roll:
