Awesome Ocker ,the strength of Character in his eyes so captured by you..

Now that is what I call a painting. Incredible detail clarity is what it's all about and you've mastered it beautifully.

thanks Mate

Superb as always Ocker!

I sure hope this brings some comfort in your sadness Ocker. On my wall I have a large form of Art of the "long & winding road" with pretty trees cascading down each side of the road. To me it depicts life, and at times like you are experiencing, I remember & cherish, the good times we shared with pals & loved ones. I'm also sure you have captured a wonderful portrait of someone you think highly of and treasure the memories forever.Take care.

thank you for those kind thoughts, Stranger
