Description
First portrait in My namaste series! Gene has been a follower and a friend of mine for years. His personality is wholesome, thoughtful, and gentle. His interests include 80s music, his Christian religion, and having meaningful conversation with people that he may not necessarily agree with but still take the time to try to learn more from. I feel like Gene is content being a student and trying to learn as much as he can. I chose to do a traditional portrait by choosing pencil, charcoal, and a little bit of ink. I think there is a humbleness to the style of art that resonates well with Gene. I created his hair using word art with the words including ones that he’s friends with used to describe him, as well as how I would use to describe him after reading many of his posts, and comments in the past.
Gene is a good guy, good enough to live up to his last name which happens to be “Joy’. Gene is a joy, so namaste sir! We all see you and we appreciate you! Thank you for allowing me an opportunity to get to know you throughout the years!
