A standard figure drawing pose is the basis for the piece from the Dysphagia Series. it was a cold day in December, around Christmas time when I decided to paint the second layer. Models were nowhere to be found, but then there was Craigslist.
A young lady named Malin posed for the second layer. Some nice spacial things happen with the close up, mid shot contrast. One of my favorites.
