Description
Maybe you know the feeling when a face makes a deep impression, and don't leave you.
I felt so with this man, did not know why really, there was something....
First I painted him, but that was not enough.
The whole yesterday evening I tried and tried to find a fittng context for him.
At last I surrendered to sleep, knowing that the night would give me a solution.
And it did...here he is, and I am quite content with the outcome
Thanks for viewing and comments!

Very Profound Gun, the expression in his eyes, along with your title, captures it all. You have definitely put him in the right context. Amazing isn't it, how we reach solution in our sleep/dream state!
I can see why! He has a pretty intense expression! And so much sadness too! But maybe it's just me who sees it this way!? A beautiful and deeply moving image Gun!
Having just returned from San Francisco and seeing the homeless, I can feel a conection here with this photograph and what I have seen tonight.
Great portrait. the espression is well captured. Great emotion.
On the outside, looking in. Sometimes we can feel this way even in a crowd of people. Not a nice way to feel.
Oh Yes, A haunting look in the eyes. There is much said in one look. Excellent work. :0)
It is his eyes Gun, they would haunt me too. You paid him justice, this is wonderful!

Excellent!!
I feel your read here if not for him for your image and that theme is perfect - certinly make me think ;) take care
wonderful concept and artwork:-)
There's a nice ambiguity that I like: he does look sorrowful, but not necessarily, it's very open to interpretation. Lovely treatment Gun :-)
Wonderful art :) ... the mood this expresses is sadness ... lonelyness ... Is he a homeless ? .. a bunch of questions pops up :) ... Wonderful work :)) V
