My Portrait

[Bawanna]

A fella on another forum that I hang out on without my knowledge did a charcoal picture of me. I think he got most of it from a National Night Out picture that was posted at some time.
He did ask for a picture of my department patch and at that point I knew he was up to something.
He's done pictures of a few other people and he has remarkable talent.
How he can draw somebody and make it look just like em makes me very envious.

I draw a horse and it looks like a rino or hippo.

Anyhow, here it is. Thought it was worth sharing his remarkable talent.

Several mentioned who they thought I looked like and they were all the same guy. I never made the connection before but apparently there's a resemblance.



It's a knife forum hence the khukri in hand.

A. Remarkable talent is self evidenced, and lucky for you his artistic license has not expired.
B. I usually draw a pistol, fits my front pocket better than a horse
C. A Khukri.... is that because you've been feeling Sikh lately?

Nice mug!

Wow! That's great. I still like my picture of you in the chair with the M14 and seeing-eye dog.

[SteveOak]

Very nice!

It 's you Joe, 100% on the money!....That look In your eye and the blade is what I always feared when I got a papa's daughter home a couple hours late after a date.....Beautiful drawing and it fits you well...

I think that was the basis for this drawing. That would have been a cool drawing just like that picture.

I'm rather fond of this one too. He's good at slipping in subtle details.

That's awesome. I have a friend who is an artist who prefers to work with charcoal. He's done several portraits of me and my family. They're really special pieces.

This is really nice. I like how he placed the badge and you shooting in the background.

And you're right, you do have a striking resemblance to Geraldo Rivera.



Just kidding! Who do people think you look like? I kind of see an older Gerald McRaney (Major Dad), but with that downturned mustache, it's gotta be Wilford Brimley.

Very flattering portrait, Bawanna. Great talent indeed!

[Alfonse]

You and the artwork, both are masterpieces.

[wyntrout]

I can just imagine what he's thinking... "Now, dang! Why did I get this knife out?"

[kenemoore]

Nice!

You look very focused.

[JohnR]

Very cool!

Outstanding! The knife becomes you.......and Wilford Brimley never looked quite so bad ass.

I won't be laid a hand on, I don't do these things to others, oh wait....that was my brother John Wayne.
