Description: He looks at the viewer fiercely, almost surprised. "Why are you looking at me?" You may not want to be alone with this dark haired young man with his closely cut black mustache and beard. He is wearing a blue coat, and stands before a peach colored background.
We were walking around Patzcuaro, Mexico, one evening of our vacation. I was snapping photographs of the busy scene around us. There were several typical road side eating places near the market place. Most had families eating dinner around a table.
Upon examining the images later, I liked particularly this man's face.
The painting I developed is quite a bit different. His coloring and clothing have been changed. Once again, I never knew his real name.
This is from my "Sinister Man Series."
Oil on canvas. 30 x 24 inches. Unframed with painted edges. Wired for hanging.
