This is a portait of a small neighborhood boy who wanted me to paint him (in 1964). So we see him now, many years later, in the chair holding his black cat. He, like most kids of that age, had great energy and curiosity which I tried to capture. When I look at this painting now, it is almost like being back there in the presence of those unfilled eyes. what have they seen, what do they know.
