Santiago - The Old Man from Ernest Hemingway's novel '' The Old Man and the Sea '' was a Cuban fisherman who has had an extended run of bad luck. But he knew fishing is like sport and his big idol Joe DiMaggio , a center fielder for the New York Yankees , gives him energy and hope to catch even the legendary Marlin.

your art is so professional and breathtaking :) Amazing that you used acrylics. It actually looks like an oil painting. Do you draw from your imagination or with pictures? Resteemed :)
Thank you very much ! I know what you mean , using acrylics has advantages and disadvantages. I paint the abstract parts from imagination and for some realistic elements I use pictures.

A beautiful picture! I like when the work is going from general to detailing.
Este "Viejo y el mar" de Ernest Hemingway, es una preciosa obra realista de buen tamaño, que aparenta esas solarizaciones fotográficas a las que me aficioné hace tiempo; antes de que llegara la fotografía digital. Veo que la entonación sigue siendo fría dejando respirar un fondo rosaceo. También veo que logras un gran contraste cromático con el azul cerúleo de las zonas solarizadas.
