“Domino Fred”

“Domino Fred” was playing dominoes with a young man in Marks, Mississippi outside a run down gas station. We were driving through Marks during our 2019 tour of the Mississippi Delta and decided to pull over and say hello. Fred was very animated and non-stop energy. Gloria, our trip “conversation starter” got Fred talking about his big moment in life - the day he got Eli Manning’s autograph! I wasn’t sure I had managed to get a photo of Fred worth painting since he hardly stood still. But, I found one that captured his vibrant spirit.
