Hello everyone.  I haven't blogged in a while nor painted because I am writing a book; however, I was stuck on my book the other day and turned to my oil paints to give my brain something else to focus on and here he is -- Cesar!  He just appeared from my imagination.  It took me about 4 hours to paint it because he must have been just waiting to get birthed, skipping around in my head, longing for escape.  I usually use a picture of some kind to get faces right - proportions, etc.  This time, I didn't have to use any tools other than my mind's eye.  I hope you like him.  He has some of the vagabond spirit of the main character in my book - what a surprise. And, don't you like his name?
