I was questioning myself: what if saint Mary and baby Jesus posing for me, could I draw any eager? This piece based on my memory and imagination, to honor my former teacher Mike, thank you for giving. He used to teaching drawing at the Art Students of League in New York City, I happened to watch him demo twice in that brief summer time, everything just so fast, a lot got erased by time, only fragments stay in mind.

Street Musicians -2, 60 by 280 inches, 2019 summer, there are so much I couldn't do anything beyond my drawing, I do care those musicians on the streets, but when I realized that so little I can help except giving them a "stage" to play just on my paper, love to art never becomes less, no matter rich or poor, and care becomes another level of existing, remember the movie "Pianist" well, sometimes daily difficulty could be even more rough than war, when it becomes everlasting, every single day becomes so serious heaviness.
