Pioneer
ink and gouache

Has the night descended?
Was the road of late so toilsome? did we stop discouraged, nodding on our way?
Yet a passing hour I yield you, in your tracks to pause oblivious, Pioneers! O pioneers! — Walt Whitman

Lovely portrait! I’m very much a Walt Whitman fan, and this so captures the LIFE of him. Great energetic light and colors.

Like the color and choice of profile, really makes the drawing pop. BTW: listened to a Teaching Company course on Whitman: what an amazing nutjob. He could have made a fine living writing for the Penthouse Forum
