Starting block one - step I... approximating 200 pounds of muscle.

Having bought five 36 X 36 stretched canvases to start this series on the Olympic 100 meter dash, but a bit gun shy about initiating a first move, I finally taped a 30 X 30 piece of canvas on Masonite. Talk about confidence!

This guy will probably lose a few pounds by the time I am finished with him... or is it gonna be me who will lose the pounds?!
