    Our old friend's portrait

    American Coot portrait. He made me work even though stationary; kept dozing off & head fell to breast, then eye was closed or half open.. I so wanted to shout "attention!" but didn't. Was drab with orig. gray background, so I added some color to complement his good looks.
