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

He has truly seen many years of life. Great work on this portrait Andrea
Think you've succeeded brilliantly. Your close-up technique gives me the feeling of being right there next to Ray.
a lovely character...I ike him un-postworked better
Excellent Portrait and use of filters
Excellent Portrait. Aloha
Excellent again the fiddling, in this case more for concealment than artistic flair, works very very well.
Outstanding work Andrea. God Bless.
A great pic and I am sure you have done him justice.
Such good of you, Andrea, to give these fragile gentleman the value, he deserves.
A wonderful Portrait ....in words and picture!!!
Great portrait.
Excellent portrait work, I'm sure he would be very happy with it!
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!!!
Terrifi portrait and postwork
Excellent capture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
great portrait
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.
I do love your portraits from the nursing home. This is so well done!
Both portraits of Ray are wonderful people studies. So sorry, for him, that he does not like dogs!
Being old can sometimes be rough on the body.A great potrait.
A lovely capture of Ray. I don't know why people let their dogs out to upset the postman, don't think the girls have ever seen ours!!!!
