The Boys-Third in Series

I just had to paint this young man.  He straightened his robes for a good five minutes to get them just right for me.  He was the most serious of the boys and I hope I caught that.  I painted him and I didn't like the background so he sat around for a couple of months.  Finally, I got irritated that I couldn't finish the painting, mixed up some gouache and did the background.  Yeah finally!!!!
