and dearest

Another page from the portrait selection in my traveling sketchbook. This time the subject was sketched in action lecturing to an audience in Houston. He is a professor of philosophy and I chose to surround him with the colors of an overcast sky although the fiery scarlet could also have been applied for those who know him well.
This professor really does wave his hands about, thrust and jab them vertically while he speaks. I think I caught the spirit if not the reality of the subject.
