Starting block 2 - step I... leveraging my old carcass...

For the second painting of this series, I decided to take on the challenge of reconstructing a "starting block" pose using myself as a basic model and a still from the TV set that was not good enough to be useful as sole reference.

I am going for an African American style of runner... rearranging muscles a little to avoid the "snow shoveler" look!

I would like more abstraction with this one... evidently this is totally experimental!
