Cool Eric Thake

Me again with artist portraits. Love this image by Sarah Chinnery of Eric Thake at the beach wearing striped socks.

Sketching away.

There is something about people looking in windows. This is the best.

Here is Eric in a beautiful self portrait from the 1970s. Those socks twenty years later. The bird book lovingly at his side.

He loved birds.
