This is an attempt at painting one of the security guys at The McNay art museam in San Antonio. He was in the early 20th century gallery, where there are several Picasso's. One of the Picasso paintings is of Sylvette, a beautiful woman of whom he painted about 40 portraits in the 1950;s. This man was working security one night a couple of years ago, and a beautiful, mature woman came into the gallery, sat down on a bench facing the painting, and pointed to it, and said "That's me!". Joeseph, takes obvious pride in telling that story. I am working on a larger painting, and needed to do a study. Yes, I know I made his right ear too big; I didn't notice it until my wife looked at it and said, "I like it, but his ear is too big." Joseph also didn't look so grumpy; I'm working on that too.
I'll try to post the finished painting later.
