Wray Anderson revisited

these days, at the beginning of the year, I went two or three times to the Onondaga native reservation, like 20? 30? kms from the city. very cold days, gray and windy. but at the end of the road, I (we) met my friend Wray, and that shifts all the cold into warm and smiles.
many years ago I made this portrait of Wray, maybe it is time for a remake, really. will see... these things depend on time mainly, but I promise to try during the month. if a new portrait will emerge I'll post it exactly here.
meanwhile, enjoy the old one. thanks for the visit and for the comments, written or thought.
