An Old Soul- Canvas

An Old Soul- The shepherd in this painting hung out in the doorway from sun up until sundown in San Miguel, Mexico. He was not restrained in any way, probably just old and tired, and fond of his store-front home. His vantage point gave him a view of all the street activity which seemed to mildly amuse him. Sometimes he would retreat for a nap on the concrete floor inside, but when he awoke, he went back to the job he felt he needed to do.
