Solar Therapy - day 1 of 2

Oil on wood, 16 x 16 inches (41 x 41 cm)

This painting will receive more attention next week. I like the complacent, almost smug, expression on this chap's face. The problem I am struggling with is getting the right leg to extend out convincingly towards us viewers, so I will continue to work up that right foot, and the area around it, adding contrast, detail and interest until it is "in your face."
