This is a watercolor portrait of a dear friend Fred Walsh, a resident of Canada; whom I met on blogosphere last year.Fred is a talented guy - he sings very well, and is a great guitarist as well as a wonderful wild life photographer!

  2. Arti, this is such a wonderful piece. I love the spring-like palette and you've captured a life so well-lived, so well-loved in this man's face. Fred seems like he would be a great friend indeed.
