Gardner got just the right one from his model, and it conveys so much!

He seems very worried and unsure of himself indeed.<br /><br />Perhaps he is an artist or poet, or perhaps even a young philosopher.

I tend to really like misty scenes.<br /><br /><br />Brian Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15139559400312336791noreply@blogger.com
