Title: I dont know anything!... that I do know.
Leaving a restaurant in Guanzhou we walked into this guy.
This clothing was tied up plastic bags, including his massive shoes of tied up plastic.
This momentary crossing of paths left a strong residual feeling.
Who was he?
Why was he dressed like that?
Where is he from?
Where was he going?
Is he still alive?
and the list goes on...
I can make many assumptions based on a variety of perceptions and things I think I know...
but ultimately...
I dont know anything! only he does...
I generally avoid portraits but...
I felt like I HAD to paint this guys portrait before he slipped off into the haze like so many.
Took a while to get it how I wanted it.
One for all the souls abandoned by the callous unfeeling nature of progress.
