Waiting

My son and I were driving to the dentist and we both took pictures of this man sitting at a bus stop.  I have been wanting to paint a black man with dreadlocks.  They were hard to do but I loved this picture and really would like to know his story.
I don't think this is a painting everyone will like because it's not a pretty painting but I love to paint paintings that tell a story and I think this one does.
