Once again depicting the male and female figure are endless challenges to me. Looking, sketching, painting the human figure always reminds me of the source that says we are created in the image of God. I think that includes something of the physical as well as the emotional and soulful. So it ups the stake and challenge of depicting it in respect and with a sense of awe. I'm wondering what this person is contemplating. What is he considering? Is there a problem? Is there a solution?
