Love it! Also my favorite Troubadour. I guess I need to be more verbose, ( I have to use 100 words! HA) so as a piece of art it is thoughtful, reflective of what I know about the man and your technique is very good. As usual your metaphors make it yours and I find it interesting you have him kneeling in the forest, where I think of him as more urbane. Hmm. Wonder why there is a 100 word minimum?? Twenty more words, now sixteen, now fourteen, now twelve. Oh well I am a man of few words Love Lou
Dear Flori, I truly hope you have a wonderful time. It is a bit of a joke in my country that as he has made 3 last final tours and I hope for his fans he makes a few more. I very much like the old and young versions of himself in the same drawing, very much like old is reflecting back on events when he was young. If I knew more about Leonard Cohen’s work I probably would understand the importance of the handcuffs .
...Thank You deeply for Your lovely comment,my dearest Allen.. Well,yes,You have to knoz about his songs,to understnd the little symbols I integrated in this drawing,the heart with the bird and the handcuffs are actually on the cover of one of his albums,called "the future",in this very album,there is special song,named"light as a breeze",I particularily adore,it's very sensual,tlking about certain "bracelets",bu other than that,he is also singing in lots of other songs of prison,wars,and his juddish(juewish)origines...
You know the name is familiar to me but not sure if I know who he is for sure,Ill go look it upIm crossing my fingers and sincerly hope you get to meet him in person, and I know youll have a exceptional time at the concert
