The other day I had to take a Train into Sydney to sort out my Marriage Certificate for our second son who needs a Passport. The navy keeps knocking back his Passport application due to my paperwork not being enough…mind you my older son has already been through all this and was accepted no worries, you would think that because I have given paperwork for one son that the other son would have no issues!!
After we went to Central we jumped back onto the train and headed into Circular Quay for Lunch…it was way past lunch time by then so both Kyle and I was keen to eat. As soon as we had finished eating we walked all over The Rocks before heading back to Circular Quay. Where we both stopped in our tracks to stand very still and watch Pepe Gaka at work. He was incredible….
I really like how he makes a living by Donations, and how he donates all of his Paintings to Charity. Every time he has finished a Painting its given away….now that is really living with a passion, a purpose and a reason!
He draws with Chalks {pastels?} and then uses a Spray over it to keep from smudging the painting.
I so wanted to ask him….how long does it take to do a Painting? This one is almost finished.
And another thing I wanted to know…how does he pack it up every day and then bring it back to start on it again – Does he roll it up to transport it???
Also would love to know…..where did he learn to Paint/Draw like that? Is it a natural talent or did he set out to learn from others, or was it a combination of both?
Not sure how long we both stood there….but do know that we could have stayed there forever, Pepe Gaka you are one talented man! We are no following him on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter 🙂
Have You Seen Pepe Gaka At Circular Quay?
