Darfur Kid

24" x 18"
Acrylic, Coffee and Red Wine on Canvas

I started this piece about 2 years ago. I had just gotten back from Israel where I had attended a bunch of 'Save Darfur' rallies and this was my way of expressing my feelings about the subject. The truth is that every couple months, I take this painting down off my wall and work into it a little more. Up until a few months ago, it was just black and white but I've been experimenting lately with different media; specifically red wine and coffee. When you mix the two together, the color you get is so rich and suggestive. Also, it makes the work smell great.
