This painting is based on a photo I took at the WTC site in lower Manhattan in 2005. I watched him for a minute before snapping the photo. He had a certain look in his eyes that seemed sad, and had me wondering what his story was. The moment I snapped the photo he looked up, and the look in his eyes seemed more perturbed at me taking his picture than sadness. I painted this with the intention of portraying the look I remembered in my mind, that the camera didn't catch. Originally there was a chain link fence he was leaning against. I decided to take the liberty of replacing it with a brick wall. I posted the original photo also. Painter 9 airbrushes.
