Description

Took a photo of this guy in 2005 at Ground Zero, lower Manhattan. He was sitting up against the fence around the WTC site. I loved the pic and his playing and had it in my mind to paint. I added the brick wall.
Just recently I've found out this guy is named Phil Belpasso, and was still there as of last year. He created quite a stir over free speech during the occupy wallst. when NYPD was giving him a hassle playing flute and not bothering them. Don't know what happened, but you go Phil, keep on playing!
