Work in Progress: American Quixotic

I've always wanted to do a "Don Quixote" piece and have decided to capture him right before his mind totally goes, as he is surrounded by his books. As a nod to my current employment status, I wanted to dress him in more modern garb...boxers, a bathrobe, a t-shirt, kind of in tribute to "the Dude" in the Big Lebowski. When this is done, the ground will be littered with stacks of books.

Before I started reading the book last June, I always wondered whether the man was mad or just perceived as mad...Cervantes clarifies that he was indeed mad. I want to get him at that moment...right before he goes over.
