It's late at night and there's a terrible glare from my camera, but I went back to this portrait tonight and did a little more detail. The painting had dried a little so I was able to work with it.

I am still not quite happy with it. I am missing something - and can't figure out what it is? Maybe sleep?

I love the whole concept of this scene - the way the light from the street silhouettes his face, the way his hat and hair obscure his face. I found this photo on someone's blog a long time ago, and always meant to paint it. This one spread off the brush like butta. Love it when that happens!

We are traveling tomorrow, so wanted to get an early start on today's painting - so this is my painting for Wednesday, the 26th.
