Description

At the Nursing Home. Ray was a postman and absolutely HATES dogs!! He has suffered more ravages of age than many, and I was keener than usual to get an image which dignifies and honours advanced age. A bit of postwork conceals his uncomfortable skin condition and I expect he will like this result if I show him. I hope he didn't lose that ear to a dog! I have uploaded a different and unpostworked pic of him Here

Think you've succeeded brilliantly. Your close-up technique gives me the feeling of being right there next to Ray.

Excellent again the fiddling, in this case more for concealment than artistic flair, works very very well.

I could NEVER hate dogs, even if I was a postman! The mail system would be all screwed up by my incompetence, but I still wouldn't hate dogs!!!

Poor fellow looks like he's had a rough time. So no cuddles from Rosie and the boys? Too bad, he doesn't know what he's missing. Wonderful post work. He looks almost like a sculpture done in clay.
