My father spent much of the later years of his life expressing his feelings through drawing. Here are some my favorites.
My father would take on various inking and lettering projects, the most notable being a Robinson Crusoe comic. He also had a few students that corresponded with him in order to get his thorough critiques. This is one of the few images that exists of him at his drawing table.

My father, Samuel Wray passed away September 1, 2007. He was 86. My mother, Ellie, cared for him full-time for the last four years of his life. She is proud of his talent, and would love to share it with the world.

Thank you for sharing this; it is a beautiful portrait. The photo itself looks like a work of art -done by a professional photographer? It looks like something that was hand-printed (I was a photography major in college).
I think my brother took this picture, but I'm not sure. I like it also. My dad used to take a lot of images for reference, so I wouldn't be surprised if this one was also!
the sad thing isI don't remember taking it or where that was! Dad used to work in kind of dungeon like circumstances, so this one is a surprise to me.
I agree, this is a beautiful photo.
Funny. My father lettered Jon Sable:Freelance, Masked Man and Grimjack. He also drew in a similar manner to your father...
How odd...
