As with The Mystic in a post last week, this is a seaweed pattern as found – nothing has been added and nothing taken away. The only editing has been the fading out of the sand (although some feint traces have been allowed to remain) and a slight colour saturation. Gradually a figure seemed to emerge – I’ve called him The Mendicant but there are other titles that could be applied which are equally appropriate.

Wonderful Louis! I saw your character right away-so very expressive.
Thank you so much, Elena.
I saw him too.. he looks old and tired.. well spotted Louis.. I love it.
Thanks Helen, I found him, and continue to find him, an intriguing character.
I can see why Louis
The first character that sprang to mind for me (before reading your text) was Don Quixote. Maybe something to do with the long skinny figure, stooped shoulders and an expression of being slightly puzzled at the world …
I like that interpretation Noeline.
