Dancing to the Beat of His Own Drum
Size: 11.5 x 14″
As I was passing through Marion Square Park at the center of downtown Charleston one Saturday morning, I stopped to watch the street performers do their thing in front of the tourists. I could not take my eyes from this particular guy, who was accompanying himself on this drum while he danced, twirled, flipped and cartwheeled, never missing a beat. I was puzzled about how to convey his movement, energy and passion in a two-dimensional painting. One image wouldn’t do it, so this experimental mélange of three poses is where I ended up. Later, when I stopped by the park to tell him that he had inspired my painting. I interrupted his dance with some trepidation, not knowing what to expect. To my surprise, he threw his arms around my neck in jubilation and danced away!
