He's turned 90 and doesn't have his health problems to seek, but Willie soldiers on still producing the goods. In addition to emphysema he has a collapsed lung, back problems and a new hip! You don't get looks like his after an easy life...there's a story in every crinkled line, each crevasse and that twinkling eye.
Here's that wonderfully gnarled profile rendered in gouache, watercolour, coloured pencils and chalks.
This is a one-off Original piece on Saunders Waterford 300gsm HP paper, using mixed media including Watercolour Paint, Acrylic Paint, Inktense Pencils and occasionally Unison Colour Soft Pastels.
