                  I did make some final updates to this portrait that brought it to a more finished look. Here is the portrait and a photo of it in its frame.

                  Gassho,

                  遜道念芸 Nengei
                  Sat today. LAH.

                        I have a lot to learn; take anything I say that sounds like teaching with a grain of salt.

                          I like how he appears 'stern', but at the same time emanating compassion; grandfatherly - wise - and loving.

                            That's about right, in my experience of the man.
