Portrait of an aborigine

Almost a disapproving glare! Rebecca said it all! Lovely work. I like the starkness of the Avalon surf club pic too – but what vivid colours!

strong image

Great portrait, Sheila.
Lots of expression.

sheila this is wonderful

Stunning portrait.

My My My Wonderful!best regards

absolutely stunning portrait

Strewth! A lifetime in an instant. Fantastic work!

A great portrait of a great person, he is a unique person like all of us are to eachother, however he does have a look of disapproval on his face, or is it…. why me?

What an absolutley brilliant portrait Sheila!

Excellent portrait!!!.

Thanks all. His name is Cedric and he is a busker at Circular Quay.
Cheers
Sheila

I have only just found your work Shelia and love it.

Wow, you’ve captured a brilliant expression and dignity. Details great too.

very strong

Good old Cedric! Pinsharp wirey hair. A brassed off expression and a furrowed brow, telling of a troublesome past. Not a happy bunny. Your pic certainly tells a story. Nicely taken.

wonderful portrait…..

Great portrait, an interesting face that sure tells a story, excellent in black and white.

Did you see the sketch of David Gulpilil at the Archibald a couple years ago ?

Yes, I loved the painting which I believe was in charcoal.

Sheila

great portrait!!

so full of character. this is a fantastic photograph. the bw is exquisite.

Wow, what a strong shot..fantastic

A great study!

A wonderful image!

Just wondering if your model gets a percentage of any of your artwork sales? (for this image)

Pretty powerful shot there.

What a great pic – please thank him for allowing you to share it with us. :-)

grace and poise in this resplendent face – lovely work

Masterfully captured in all ways.

nice shot

i like it very nice

You are lucky that he was willing to have his photo taken. Many Aboriginies believe that when you take their photo, you are stealing a part of their soul (sorry, baby version of very complicated and beautiful beliefs system). This is such an emotive portrait. Wonderful work. You should be proud.

Excellent…

They say a face tells a story… I think he’s got many to tell. Wonderful capture. Congrats!

Brilliant, powerful portrait. Love this!

what amazing detail and composition… Bravo my friend…........

Great image.

Great protrait, thanks for showing another part of the world.

Superbly done. I love the expression.

The B&W shows age. Very nice work.

PERFECT!!!

Hi Shelia,

Great shot of a family friend of ours, Cedric Barnes. That face is very recognisable anywhere. I would really appriciate a copy of the pic, will pay for costs. Mel
