Suspenders

This is a backview of Albert Handell a pastel artist and teacher of some renown here in the States.

He was at the Pastel Convention looking in a workshop when I snapped this shot of him. He has no idea I took it.

The background is a painting I saw at the Blanton here in Austin, I thought the trapeze artist and the suspenders Albert was wearing made for a cute title.

I will often use a figure out of context, photos I take in coffee shops etc, but place the subjects (in my paintings) at a museum or beach, just for grins.
