Good morning peeps.
it's portrait time again...
a few layers of green, brown, beige, white and black
I love Morgan Freeman as an actor.
I also think he's a pretty cool person -
at least what i've seen of him.
The media gets caught up on things like
the 72 year old wanting to marry his 26 year old step grand-daughter
but i couldn't give a rat's ass who he marries.
As long as she's of legal age -
and she is, so more power to you, Morgan!
I know many 72 year olds
who would be more than happy
to marry a 26 year old.
If only they were given the chance.
But they don't have Morgan's money,
or sex appeal,
so it doesn't work the same way.
:-)
One of my favorite movies is THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION.
It was based on a Stephen King novel
although you'd never tell when you watch the movie.
(Most of Stephen King's books are thrillers)
It's set in the 1940's - the story of 2 men in prison
who form a friendship over years of incarceration
and eventually find redemption.
Morgan plays a character called Red.
I loved him - so believable.
These portraits are fun for me
because the format is relatively small
( 8.5 x 11, a normal sheet of paper )
and I do them pretty loosely so they don't take very long.
Once in a while,
we all feel the need to return to something familiar.
Something comfortable.
Portraits are kinda becoming my "something comfortable".
Enjoy the day folks.
xoxo
