Strong, Silent Type

I've had a devilish time painting this fellow, & I'm still not happy with him-- maybe because life is super-hectic at the moment & it's even harder than usual for me to channel yogi-like balance & quiet mind...

Easy there, steady now, Leah!

I'll probably give him a few more tweaks before I release him into the wild, but for now, I think I'll go do a little yoga myself. Though maybe not this exact pose... ;-)

Acrylic on text on canvas, 6"x6"

If you're curious about my process you can see a very early state of this piece here.

    Really cool! I love his crazy, long and skinny limbs. Great job on the hair. Great colors.

    Just a tad tricky, that pose.

    Love how his toes and fingers point up (except for one...). Keep wanting his head to wobble! Cool! :)

    Okay, so what's the secret of the sequence of five?

    Thanks, all! I was so stressed out about this one... funny how that works. Isaac, I'm afraid I still can't tell. I'm sorry I've made it such an insoluble mystery! All will be revealed on the 28th.

    Strong silent type. HA! This is brilliant! Beautiful layers and colors, and I just love his rich hair! Wish mine would do that. In color, though. :)

    He is awesome! This makes me smile. I love your attention to detail and I can't see anything wrong with this. Love his curly hair!
