Here another pastel study in the spirit and along the lines of the great illustrators of the past. As mentioned earlier, I tremendously admire the works of Norman Rockwell, J.C. Leyendecker, Charles Gibson, Gil Elvgren, James Avati, and many many more. This 60 by 40 cm illustrates very well I think the tension between the different people meeting; the appreciating look of the man, the jealous stare of the woman on the right, and the self-assured aloft look of the man's woman/wife, the joy of the elderly couple in the background in seeing each other ... The colours were well chosen too, rendering depth and portraying the feelings of the people involved in the little drama. Don't we recognize ourselves?
