This is my Great-Grandfather. It would be his birthday today. Born in Rockingham back in 1900, his life would read as one amazing tale. By the time was born, he was already an old man - but that certainly never stopped him from any of his outdoor activities - or really anything for that matter ( except for maybe great-grandma lol ). An avid hunter and trapper, there was always something skinned or hanging around his shop. I depicted him here - well into old age - as an ancient forest spirit, surrounded by his trapping treasures. He was quite mythical to my childhood self. He may be gone, but the tales he told continue to live on...
