The hyper-realistic design portrays an old man, weathered by time and hard work, who still must toil daily to make ends meet. Every wrinkle and crease on his face tells a story of a life filled with hardship and perseverance. Jacques has skillfully captured the old man's rugged features, the coarse texture of his skin, and the deep-set lines on his forehead, which allude to the struggles he has endured. Despite his advanced age, the old man continues to work tirelessly. The painting serves as a poignant reminder that one should work sparingly, save, and plan ahead to avoid having to do hard labor in their later years. The image evokes a sense of empathy and compassion, and encourages viewers to be mindful of those who continue to toil, even in their twilight years. I envision that the painting of the old man doing hard labor would make a powerful statement as wall art in a corporate or construction company's reception areas and hallways. It reminds viewers of the value of hard work and perseverance. As a piece of art in a living area, where it serves as a daily reminder to save and plan for the future, so that we don't have to do hard labour or if you did not save and you still have to work at an old age, it's okay. Appreciate the blessing that you can still work to make ends meet. If you decide on this painting, you can appreciate any situation every time you walk past your exclusive wall art. "You can if you must." ---- Jacques
