Took the family to Ireland the Summer of 2017. Took a reference photo of this guy at an outdoor pub in the town of Galway. I think the guy could tell I was stalking him. But, I was able to get a shot of him just as he put a full pint of Guinness to his lips. Was trading between drags on his pint with drags on his pipe. Guy epitomizes Ireland to me. Irish hat, whethered face, proper dress, parked in a chair with the objective of enjoying beer, pipe, and passers by – I just loved his look and knew I had to draw him.
