This is a painted of a little boy I used to teach.  When I was in Jaipur India, I volunteered to teach in an impoverished shanty town. To see more similar paintings visit my fine arts blog or my painting portfolio website.

Memory Miniatures

These are memory portraits I did of people I meet when I was teaching in Jaipur. I had to work small because I was traveling so they are all postcard sized, 4inches x 6 inches (10 cm x 15 cm).
