“Break Even Saturday”
This gentleman caught my eye (and lens) one hot afternoon at the racetrack. I used many warm pigments in this painting to mark the heat of the day that was so manifest in his face and body. With cooler pigments in his clothing and a prism of colors in the background, I tried to characterize the encounter that my original snapshot caught.

Gosh, thanks, Lorraine. Each painting is such a journey, as I’m sure you know well.
Really love the detail on this one. Even his fingers read so well!
Sent from my iPhone.
Thanks, Connie. I wasn’t sure about his fingers, but they turned out ok in the end, I think.
Wonderful eyes Terry. I feel like I’ve seen this guy!
Thank you, Sherry. I think that’s what drew me to paint him – he has sort of a universal look!
