WRINKLES

Ravages of time, gravity, soft skin in layers fold and fall. I have noticed a lot of wrinkles on people and amazed at how we are all so different yet so alike. We all get wrinkly as we get old a fact of life. A few people I have noticed however have very puffy fully pouched pockets and folds of skin under their eyes and on their cheeks. wrinkled, lined faces hold so much information, history, a life. I wonder what this portraiture conjures, now thats something for me to go and further reflect on, I can sense a story waiting to be told. Lets call this lady, yes lady, lets call her Miss Ochrist. And once upon a time?

OK, Miss Ochrist: Once upon a time, about 30 years ago, there was a young woman called Miss Ochrist who felt it was up to her to keep others in line.

Speaking of line, your's is great.

Judging by the determined set of her jaw I don't think this lady is going to let a few wrinkles hold her back! A very good yet simple drawing, well done.
