you cannot know to judge

Title: I dont know anything!... that I do know.

Leaving a restaurant in Guanzhou we walked into this guy.

This clothing was tied up plastic bags, including his massive shoes of tied up plastic.

This momentary crossing of paths left a strong residual feeling.

Who was he?

Why was he dressed like that?

Where is he from?

Where was he going?

Is he still alive?

and the list goes on...

I can make many assumptions based on a variety of perceptions and things I think I know...

but ultimately...

I dont know anything! only he does...


I generally avoid portraits but...

I felt like I HAD to paint this guys portrait before he slipped off into the haze like so many.

Took a while to get it how I wanted it.

One for all the souls abandoned by the callous unfeeling nature of progress.
