Digital Art - Drawing, Pencil Sketch
Description
This pencil sketch from a Morguefile image was initially for contest Challenge 12 by Bob Galka and was a second place winner. I am not a realist, yet felt this image had so much impact of character that a pencil sketch just had to be done. Questions, contact the artist.
I am adding a very fine poem by artist, Maria Disley, which describes her feelings about the old man in my sketch. Read and enjoy and view her work.
Old Man
The stitching on your cuffs runs like a long and winding road
Over your nestling of wool,
Your clothing a feathered nest,
A home to wander in,
To keep out the harsh iced air.
So faraway, your eyes,
Too far for me...
I can barely look, but stare.
Eyes like traversed swamps, ploughed and sometime, past, bright with new life! Sown then undone and barren�
I don�t mind your sigh at my unearthly misunderstandings,
At attempting to climb into your skin and feel the rhythm of your quiet heart, which your eyes tell me it's not, will never be�.
Do you remember a garden once!? Moments, like bees visiting stamens?
Or have they gone too?
Pull your collar up mate..there!
What do you see in my eyes? Don�t tell me, for I see every father in your wearied face and fathers never want to spoil things with truth, yet we read it anyway in eyes like yours.
I wish�
I wish�
