Here are the sketches I used for the painting, I usually just start quickly sketching with a subject matter in mind.  I am working on a sea bird series and had an idea to title a painting Beach Bums, so I wanted to give the birds some charactoristics of old men you see in the park.  
These are two close ups of a larger  painting, the painting is almost finished.

The color and design in these paintings vibrates with life.
