Faith- Old Man Praying

'Faith'series continues...
This was an old sadhu with flowing white beard, with a satin shawl draped over his shoulders; chanting his prayers aloud on the banks of the Ganga.I thought he would make a great subject for a sketch.My husband took a lot of photographs of him. Finally, this was selected for my sketch. It was done in two sittings-about 3 hours each.
