| "Keeping Watch" 8 by 10 original watercolor on paper Maria's Watercolor ©2014 Buy Here |
I met this guy when my family and I were on vacation and heading out for dinner. He had planted himself outside The Wreck of The Salty Dog. His confident expression implied he was a regular and not a tourist. The crowd swirled around him, but he gave none as much as a glance.
I am guessing he is well fed from dinner leftovers daily and he does not let the tourist chaos distract him from his mission, he does not beg.
Oddly enough I find him somewhat inspiring, he is not distracted. he is there for a purpose, he is not grumpy, merely focused on what he wants. I had to take a few photos and bring them home for painting.
