The first photo was taken outside under day light (no sun)...
... while the other one is a close up to show textures...
With this painting, I took advantage of a darker reddish underpainting here and there, and purposely made the lower limbs disappear into the background to mimic the intense summer afternoon light.
I seem to have developed just enough skills with acrylics in a little over a year to render "half decently" pretty much anything I want. Can I render what is in my imagination? Can I express speed, power and feelings beyond just the conventional figurative vocabulary. This is my next challenge, which I plan to meet with the Olympic series!

Peter, I have been in Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney. I like the California style of Sydney. I have also been in the country side a bit (the 3 sisters area). Australia and Canada have a lot in common mentality-wise. For now, I keep a low profile with regard to e-mail address, etc...
