Oliver has always been very supportive of my declaration to make Tuesday night Art Night. In an effort to support my goal, he agreed to model for this painting back in December. It took about 45 minutes.
I created this painting from a photograph I took in Cambodia last August. It shows two young monks with their alms buckets. I love their bright orange robes and yellow umbrellas, which was a common sight in SE Asia. I was curious to know why it was so common to see the monks with yellow umbrellas, and learned that they use the umbrellas to protect their shaved heads from the hot sun, as well as the rain during the wet season. I still don't know why they're all yellow though...
