This painting conveys a lot of thought and emotion. You’ve captured that faraway look of a man deep in thought. This is quite beautiful! Well done!

Skylar: Like this … so well done :thumbsup: –

Reminds me of a fellow called “Deacon” living not far from us when I was a kid … much older than this young man, but I remember him as always being in deep thought as you have portrayed –

Excellent, his faraway look makes the viewer think as well.

Kay – Thank you!

Hud – Thanks! Part of him is definitely part of me. You’d think at my age, all those issues would be resolved…

Jo – Thank you! I was hoping for that reaction.

Skylar: Well, I am 76 and used to think I knew things … now I realize that I know very little … I do not think we ever resolve all the issues … we just learn to live with them –

Hud – I just had my 75th BD. And I agree – What happened?! I used to be so sure I knew just about Everything!!!

Well done.
I may be taking liberty in seeing some symbolism in that he is looking toward the light…and that’s a good thing.

Age brings on a revelation Skylar … and attached to that disclosure is a bit of wisdom … which is a good thing –

Todd – Thank you! Yes, The light is a component. I think he is looking for enlightenment. If it were shame, he would probably be facing away.

Hud – I often think if I just receive a “second” of revelation in my last moments, all the years would be worth it.
