But I would have been happier doing head/shoulders, had it not been for the need to fill an odd sized frame LOL. I've had some lovely comments online here so perhaps I'm being too hard on him. I will put him away for a while and see if ISue Clinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15582183867336673426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474048087216734753.post-65357530027102130902016-05-20T12:23:59.988+01:002016-05-20T12:23:59.988+01:00Sue, I don't know why you don't like this ...Sue, I don't know why you don't like this but it seems to have everything to make it a popular painting. Like Bev said, the subject has a dreamy look and his hair is blowing in the wind. There's a beach and water - what more could you want? I played a sax when I was in school and if you haven't drawn every fiddly bit on this one, it doesn't matter.

You're right, I've had a bit of a 'downer' on this drawing from the start which is a shame as I selected him specifically to fit a long, narrow frame I have at home. <br /><br />I've tweaked my back so for the couple of weeks have been careful not to do anything to make it worse.

I wonder where he was in his head? I am taking a break from drawing for a while I'm all drawn out.

But thanks for stopping by <br />I've struggled with this drawing from Day 1 ... its all in the mind though and thanks to you and Jo for your nice comments - I won't bin it, but I need to move onto something I'll enjoy more and leave this one alone before I wreck it.<br />All the best<br />SueSue Clinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15582183867336673426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474048087216734753.post-5503798113682931172016-05-20T09:51:38.446+01:002016-05-20T09:51:38.446+01:00Hi Jo

The beautiful guesthouses/hotels were filled up with 'DHSS' and immigrants which dragged it down and made it almost a 'no go' area. Then over the last few years there has been a lot of money invested into the 'Old Town' and a cafe culture society has sprung up Sue Clinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15582183867336673426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474048087216734753.post-4373917944915632262016-05-20T09:28:27.295+01:002016-05-20T09:28:27.295+01:00It's 4:12am and since I can't sleep I'...It's 4:12am and since I can't sleep I'm on the computer...lol.
