The Fight Team

The Fight Team, pastel, 12x16". The inspiration for this painting came while walking around in Palmira, near Boquete, Panama, early in the morning. Kids were walking to school. This older sister immediately moved her arm to protect her brother when I got closer. His shirt reads: "the fight team". Down the road you can see the gates of the cemetery, they walk almost an hour each way, to and from school every day, sometimes in the rain. Este pastel fue inspirado mientras caminaba por Palmira, cerca de Boquete en Panama, temprano a la manana. Chicos caminaban a la escuela. Esta hermanita mayor inmediatamente movio su brazo para protejer a su hermano cuando yo me acerque. El abrigo del nino decia: "Equipo de Pelea". A lo lejos en el camino se ven los portones del cementerio. Ellos caminan casi una hora de ida y otra de vuelta para ir a la escuela, todos los dias, a menudo en la lluvia.
