He wages an uneven fight
He has his rod
And the fish?
Nothing but his wits, and frankly
Often that's enough.
Okay, two days ago on Wednesday I painted some old codgers in a pub. Whet I felt most about it was sorry that I hadn't used a bigger piece of paper and painted it bigger, to get more detail into the faces. No time to have a go at a portrait yesterday, but this evening I found a photo of a characterfull face, and went for it. Now, I don't know if you've ever watched the US reality TV show 'Hardcore Pawn', but if you have, does the face remind you as much of owner Les Gold as it does me? No? Well, please yourselves.
