Work in progress
I think he was going to ask me for money, but, I started talking as he approached me and my husband. I immediately took out my camera, said I was an artist and if I could take a few photos so I could paint him. He talked some gibberish and did all kinds of silly poses and gestures, but, did not ask me to stop taking photos, so I just kept taking them. My husband did ask me to stop and for us to move on. We did give him some money and I came home with this awesome photo of him. He is smiling a mischievous smile in the photo. I hope I can make that happen in the painting.
Looks great, Liana. And knowing that he's homeless just makes that bouyant, sweet smile of his so touching: what people endure and keep smiling!
ReplyDeleteYou captured this homeless man beautifully, Liana!... Wonderful colors in his face... (your husband sounds like my husband..LOL)
ReplyDeleteThis is a very sincere and feeling portrait. You captured his grace and character.
