Spray paint man

A couple of weeks ago while the Chicaizas were visiting we met an artist in the city. A crowd surrounded him while he painted pictures of nature with spray paint. His work was amazing, quick ( 20 min per painting) and entertaining. We liked his work but wanted something more personal. So Lee and I went back the next day and brought two printed photos with us and asked him if he could paint them for us.

This is the view from our orphanage (Los Pequeñitos de OSSO) of the Cathlic orphanage Tadeo Torres.


The building Tadeo Torres uses used to be a hotel. After walking through the lobby, the orphanage opens up to a big court yard. The court yard is lined with small rooms that have a bathroom and a couple of beds in each room. This is where the "casa" children live.



The second painting we asked for was of New York, TLC cottage( Trout Lake Club). This painting represents joy, family and peace.
