Hello to the blog folks from Jim in Tangier Morocco. The trip is almost over and I will be home soon to with a lot of posts. Here is a portrait I did yesterday of an antiquities dealer in a cafe in Tangier.
slflew, James learned how to sign his name in Arabic before leaving, so the Arabic under his signature is James'. The other Arabic writing on the left is the signature of the antiquities dealer. -Jeanette

Did Mr. Gurney write in Arabic, or did the antiquities dealer? It's nice penmenship.

Well...I'm not an expert but...James' handwriting looks nicer, doesn't it!
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed.
...and by the drawing too of course.
Looking forward to hearing all about it. These portraits are so deceptively simple too, great characterisation.
