This group of teenagers in a Brazilian quilombo (place of refuge) saw me painting and asked if I would paint their portraits; individually. I knew I wouldn't have time to do that, so I told them I would paint them as a group. As I was getting started, I learned that one of the girl's mother didn't want her hanging around the foreigner.
However, the teens wouldn't let me go without painting them, so I did this quick painting in about 5 minutes while looking over my shoulder to see if Mama was coming.
I thought the youngsters would get mad at me when they saw this faceless painting, but they really liked it. Wow.
