Hemingway Study


A loose charcoal study after a wonderful famous Hemingway photo. If anyone knows who the photographer was, please let me know so I might give credit here; this study done only for practice.

Ernest Hemingway wrote All my life I've looked at words as though I were seeing them for the first time. That is how I feel after I've painted or drawn. Once a piece is completed and set aside, next time I look at it it is as if I've seen it for the first time. This perplexes me. I have no answers. Anyone else experience this?
