Beggar Ladies

I am letting the Dye Vats painting rest a bit. I have started the underpainting for my beggar ladies painting. I saw these gals just about every day when I was living in Morocco. My roommate and I always made certain we blessed them with a little coinage each day, and they would greet us/thank us with hands to their hearts. I just wanted to hug them and let them know God made them and loves them.
