Marco, the Painting Barber



Marco is my barber.  Marco has been barbering for many years, the last decade or so here in Ocala.  He does a great job and has many great stories to tell. 

Marco is also a painter.  He's a very good painter.  The selections above are his paintings hanging on the wall of the barber shop.  He has just completed a still-life and now plans a painting ot none other than Charlie Chaplin.

    His paintings are pretty impressive. But if he were my barber, he could do stick drawings so long as I got a good haircut.

    An artist is an artist...
    A barber's shop is an ideal place to exhibit paintings (and also photographs).
    I wonder if Macro has Italian origins...

    He has a colorful face as does his customer…looks like relatives of Speaker Boehner. I hope the streaks on the sheet around the customer are not blood stains. I am more curious, than critical, really.

    I do like his mustache though . Can he help me grow a successful one?

    Did he pass on you? He knows your head. You'd be an easy portrait.
    Glad you have a good barber. I'll not comment further on them... you know my past with them. hahahaha
