This painting has been on exhibit in the Fifth Avenue Art Gallery's "Word" show this month. Artists were given three words to be possible titles for a painting. I picked "Broken" and painted this homeless man. He looks like he has been broken by life; maybe by addiction, or foreclosure, or even an illness that bankrupted him. He has a sad story that is written on his face.
Patrons visiting the gallery opening were given the list of words to see how many they could match to a painting. A very clever idea, isn't it?

Carmen, is this from your imagination or did you have a photo for inspiraton? It's wonderful.
