A bust avatar turned three-quarters, centred in a square, painted as a loose watercolour portrait on a softly blurred scene that suits the character, showing a 66-year-old male gardener of Western European descent beaming with a wide open-mouthed smile that lifts the cheeks. He has fair skin with cool undertones, an athletic build, a heart-shaped face with a pointed chin, dark brown eyes, soft rounded eyebrows, and a few days of stubble on his chin and jaw. His light brown hair is cut short with loose barely-there waves, reaching chin length and styled in neat cornrows. He wears tortoiseshell glasses, a fur-trimmed parka, and thick mittens, with a visible water-stained patch on the sleeve of the jacket. He holds a broken twig in one hand while looking up at a dripping eave above him. He stands in a muddy yard immediately after a heavy storm, with a large, irregular puddle reflecting the grey sky at his boots and leaves and debris scattered across the wet pavement. The composition keeps the head and shoulders large and centred within a clear silhouette, framing the face against the simple background. Diffuse overcast light from the stormy sky illuminates the wet surfaces and the grey reflections in the puddle. Painted in loose watercolour with visible paper texture, soft color bleeding, and wet-on-wet washes that create a soft, organic look.
