I am really pleased with this little series. And in particular this guy resting in the doorway. I hadn't really intended to do a series, but the images keep presenting themselves to me and its been a lot of fun to paint urban people. I think the reason I am drawn to figures so much is that I like to pause life and let the viewer interpret the narrative. Is he resting? Is he homeless? Is he panhandling? Is he waiting for the store to open?
