I like that he is wearing a tie and waistcoat as he hold his spade. My late father-in-law always wore a jacket and tie as well!

I love this; I have had the idea of doing a 1940s era farmer/ agricultural worker for a while now.

He'll be bare headed, to show off that lovely bald pate.

Thanks for looking.
I was never happy with the painting and other aspects of this guy, so he’s had a dunk in the stripper and I’ve made some change’s.
Sorry for the terrible photo
