Old, wrinkled faces with expressive eyes!
I love faces with wrinkles, since the more wrinkled a face is, the more it seems to tell a story of a lifetime. The shift of the wrikles (laugh lines at the corner of the eyes, or frown lines at the brow) are all an indication of the individual's persona and the environment they have lived in.
The eyes are the gateway to the person's soul, just giving me another clue about who the individual really is. Each gaze is different and tells volumes.
I don't know what it is. One would say that working on wrinkles can be rather tedious, but time stands still as I develop this love affair with very old strangers. There is this connection, which I just don't get painting any other subject matter.
If you like to know what I mean look at "Old Man" or "The Tibetan Lady" on my site
