Wonderful painting just full of character...makes me want to prop on the stoop beside him and hear some stories...and I just know he has some good ones. Love the character you captured and the light is fantastic!

Oh I love this one! beautiful!
I think the gentleman is Italian, but lived in the US for a loong time. And he's sitting there thing of his life's troubles and adventures, and he can deliver some great jokes...
You really got his personality on canvas!
