Mr. Michaeleen Og Flynn of Innisfree was never seen without his trusty pipe. It just wouldn’t be natural to do a portrait of him without it. And in this picture, he was obviously enjoying himself. Probably thinking about when he can next call at the pub. Yes, this is number three in my Quiet Man series. Ron is particularly enjoying this picture. It is 8.5 x 8.5 sharpie and colored pencils on brown pastel paper. I wanted to try a different paper and this one has more texture than the brown craft paper. I am always trying something different.
P. S. If anyone wants to commission an artwork for a Christmas gift, now is the time. The holidays will be here before you know it. Just get in touch with me (through the “Contact” link at the top of the page) and let me know what you want. Thanks!
There is nothing like being left alone again, to walk peacefully with oneself in the woods. To boil one’s coffee and fill one’s pipe, and to think idly and slowly as one does it. — Knut Hamsun
