In a way, this guy started this blog. We were visiting last fall and he asked if I would
sketch him. "Sure why not." I said. I struggled a little to get the proportions
under control and the shading right, however I found a renewed love of
sketching portraits that I'd lost nearly 20 years ago. I wanted to practice.
So thanks buddy.
Here he is today, waiting for poutine and watching a rugby game from our table
at a Canadian pub in Paris called 'The Moose'.

Three hurrahs for Mateo! Thanks for the blog idea!
ReplyDeleteHe looks kinda worried in the pic. Either he's really hungry or his team is losing. Or both!
