Tribute to ex-First Minister of Scotland Alex Salmond
Hello my dear Steemians,
On 12th of October in the evening I heard in Skynews that ex-First Minister of Scotland Alex Salmond suddenly died in North Macedonia where he attended a meeting. It was a real shock because he was still active and it was nothing about his health issues.
We arrived to Scotland in 2013 in August and while our first year, we noticed that the main Political Party was Scottish National Party with Alex Salmond as a First Minister. That time it was known that the government of Scotland was going to run Scottish Independence Referendum on 18th of September 2014. He was very inspiring man who was a real leader and managed to motivate many people, the result was:
Yes 44.70%
No 55.30%
After the Referendum when majority voted for "No" Alex stepped down from First Minister post but continued his work towards Independence, he created a new party with the name Alba in Scottish Gaelic name for Scotland, their main goal is Scottish Independence. Now when Alex so suddenly passed away I wonder what will happen with the party and his dream?*
Yesterday I was working doing Endoscopy and during my break time I spend sketching Alex Salmond's portrait, I did not have anything just my sketchbook and pen. It is not perfect but it is the best what I could do during short time and without being able to do big corrections. Hope you like it.
This is the first rough sketch and below the final sketch.
Es una historia interesante del Sr. Salmond (R.I.P). A veces el destino se muestra caprichoso e injusto, la vida es solo un suspiro pero los sueños que buscan la libertad prevalecen hasta hacerse realidad.
Gracias por compartir.
¡Un fuerte abrazo!
