Oil on Canvas

This is my Uncle Edward. He is an artist and one of his painting is displayed behind him. He taught in high school and college out in Long Island, New York. This image reflects a full life and one would never know he was homeless and living on the street for over a decade! Thankfully, his children tracked him down and found him, then were able to placed him in a retirement building, over looking the Hudson river on West 55th street, in Manhattan, New York. I owe him a ton of gratitude for introducing me to my artistic career.
