    Visual Description of Artwork

    A three feet high by two feet wide, painted portrait of a young African American man in his late 20s, standing tall, with his left hand thrust into the pocket of his blue jeans. His closed right hand is resting against his right thigh. He wears a long-sleeved polo shirt with alternating horizontal green and yellow stripes. The yellow stripes blend into the bright yellow background so that he seems to be simultaneously blending into and emerging from the canvas. His rich, brown skin tones complement a small, tan colored pouch that hangs against his chest. His dark eyes are wide and look curious, his mouth slightly open, as if about to speak. His body fills the canvas from the top of his head to his knees and has a monumental quality. He is looking directly back at you, the viewer.
