Elder Drawing - Sullivan

            This old man may be worn and grizzled, but he’s still full of zest for life. He’s a widower, but still going strong. In this picture, he’s joking around with his son, who is a photographer and will definitely record his goofy, gleeful expression. He knows this and is playing along. I think the old man is probably named Sven and was some sort of blue-collar worker until he retired. While he’s had his share of suffering and struggles, in this moment, he’s put them all aside. I would hang out with this man in a heartbeat—he can probably tell a great story. He also seems like he’d be a pretty kind person, despite his rough edges.
