You may [or may not] recall the sketch I did of Kirby Cooper PHD during the Open Studios a couple of weekends ago. I finally did the painting I wanted of this man last night. I think it looks more like him because it features his piercing blue eyes and his beautiful white hair and beard.Oil on 11x14 canvas
