Again...I retuned to see the old man
from history.
it makes me think about the burden of
bad wisdom .
the years have left him a solitary
sentinel.....waiting for a definitive ending
to a confused life.

waiting to die, I suppose...life in the 1770's had to be hard on an elderly man

That seems more likely to me from the atmosphere of the picture.
I like this the most of your recent work.

the hands, gave me trouble, but now, I see them as scraggly, shaky...sort of sad, but appropriately drawn

I thought it had a bucolic feel to it .
Maybe like an old man on his way to see his country doctor but had to rest on the road but when he got there no one could see him and he listens to the doctor talking to the mayor about how the old man's body had been found on the road a year ago.

the theme has always defined a lot of art,literature and continues to do so.
The old man heavy with the burden of the years awaits the reaper to come in from the fields
