My Uncle Harry

I then decided to paint quite a large picture of My Uncle Harry, from a photograph on the internet. He was  a tramp for over 40 years and ended up living in caves in Derbyshire. When he died, 1998 or 1999, he was living in a farmer's hut. The internet photograph is horrendous. If you want to see it search for 'Harry the Tramp'. I think my painting softens it quite a bit. I need to do a little more work on it - I have been doing some life-drawing recently and want to do things that I have learned to it. Here it currently is:






Some improvements are needed.
