"Man With Sign II," Spray paint, oil paint,  mixed media on masonite, 3'x4'
​This is a painting of a homeless man with a sign, the kind that you often see standing on freeways.  This man is on a street in one point perspective and the focal point or the vanishing point is behind his head making his face the main focus of the picture.  His sign has a rainbow, with the writing will work for food on it.  It is like the writing that you would see on a homeless person’s sign.  There is also a heart pierced by two arrows that symbolize the broken hearts that many of these people have.  There are stars in the sky and also on his hat that represent the cosmos outside him and within him.  There is a heart where his heart is, on his face, and upside down hearts in the flowers to show a reversal of the heart feelings. There is fire around him, and flowers growing out of the fire, to show the danger of the situation.  There is a sun dripping from one of the rooftops.  The different colored paint around him is like an aura or halo or energy that emanates from him.
