my sweet granddaddy

This might be my favorite so far.  I gave it to my father for Christmas.  It's a picture of my sweet, sweet Grandpa Joe.  I miss him every day.  He was the most amazing man I've ever met - sweet, humble, STRONG, gentle and loved the Lord fiercely.  He was a firefighter, fisherman, hunter, gardener, and an artist himself.  What an example.

But first, the awful, awful rough draft with wonky eyes.  So glad I did a final draft.

all charcoal.
