That face is great, the subtle expression is really effective.

Wow, I really like this. It speaks to me- I once saw a Veitnam vet. sitting on the side of the road, reading a book, with a tin can that said " Homeless Vietnam War Vet" so its a really personal thing.

I have seen too many people in situations like this. I once talked with a man who had a PhD in mathematics and had been teaching at a university, but became homeless after his landlord increased the rent. I have seen too many homeless ignored. It seems to me that the American homeless population is treated similarly to India's "untouchables."

Good job with the picture.

It fits so properly to the economic situation of this days.
As always: great painting.
