From the series, "Panhandlers of Harvard Square." Nellie was sitting with her friend Bob in the same location as I painted Merlin and Slim last year. The spot was on "loan" from another panhandler whose name I didn't catch. I paid him three dollars essentially to go away, and he seemed quite gleeful and triumphant at the coup. Nellie was badly sunburned and I gave her some sun tan lotion. She alternated between brassy, "creative" come-ons and a simple "spare change please." She told me she felt embarrassed to be panhandling and wouldn't request money from people with children. On the other hand, one of the most touching moments of the morning was when a passerby gave his two-year-old a dollar to put in her cup. About fifteen minutes into the painting session Nellie requested her money in advance, then sent Bob off to buy a 40. Although this is a nice spot to paint I will have to avoid it in the future. A policeman came along and made Bob and Nellie move, just as happened in the Merlin/Slim painting session, throwing a monkeywrench in my painting effort. Live and learn.
