This guy is both literally and figuratively up against a wall, playing his fiddle for anyone that would walk by and donate to his cause. Since the economy went south, we have had many more individuals that have depended upon the streets to survive. Here in Louisville, we have several resources for the homeless, but probably the most well known is Wayside Christian Mission. A great organization if you would like to read about them or perhaps donate to their cause.

This is painted from an old photograph of Chief Joseph, taken by Edward S. Curtis in 1903. It is a public domain, Library of Congress photograph. Of course the photo was in black and white so I guessed at the coloring. Chief Joseph was the leader of the Native American tribe of Nez Perce and, upon surrendering, is remembered for his famous words, “From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever.”

Last summer, this man was down at Waterfront Park here in Louisville. The park was crowded due to several activities and I had gone down with my husband, Marty to take photos. He was sitting on a concrete wall enjoying the sun and watching the parade of people going by. He was nice enough to pose for me and give me a subtle smile. I loved his features and thought it would make a good portrait.
This painting was juried into the Mazin Art Exhibition at the Jewish Community Center. It will be on display Dec. 6th -Jan 11th, 2010.

I loved these steep steps up this narrow passageway. I have embellished quite a bit, adding the figure, colors and shading as I wanted.
