FOX 29's Shawnette Wilson reports. WEST PHILADELPHIA - A West Philadelphia man is busy making paintings of essential workers playing a vital role helping others during the COVID-19 pandemic. "I've been doing this for about a month and a half now.
I normally put two to three hours into each painting. I try to get the essence because even though it's a portrait each painting tells a story,” said Luis Suave Gonzalez.
With the stroke of a brush he is creating a collection of people on the frontline of the coronavirus pandemic. "Essential workers are the core of our community,” he says.
His collection of self-painted portraits is called "Heroes of the Day." "I decided I wanted to honor them and record history with art as its taking place," said
