Watercolor 14x11
On a stroll in the downtown of Bogota with my daughter, we spoted this fine gentleman taking his morning bath in the public watersluice. The waterway is a small scale canal elevated about 1.5 feet from the ground and it meanders its way down the Av Jimenez - block after block. It's really a lovely city sculpture. Back to our gentleman... he kept his bath primarily on his face and seemed to be rinsing away the night before and all that went on - good and less good. Ready now to greet new opportunities.. our man makes the final adjustment to his visiage as he swiped the comb knifelike through the tangle of freshly dampened hair. A lesson in urban personal hygiene unfolded before us.
