The idea for this painting came to me when I was taking an art book back to the library.  I had flipped through the book a couple of times while I had it at home, but as I was walking it back to the library from my car I happened to flip through it one last time before I returned it, and as I flipped through it I caught a glimpse of a painting for a split second.  So, I flipped through the book again to find the painting before I returned it, but I couldn't find it again before I returned it (I think it was due that day).  So I returned the book and made a sketch to capture the idea for the painting.  Eventually, I did get a chance to find the page that the painting was on and it helped me finalize my own painting.

Every since I went to art school  I became interested in drawing the human figure and have been interested in it ever since.
