This piece turned out to be a bad cropping decision on my part. Roger rested his right leg on the back of a chair, placed all his body weight on this left leg and held it for 20 minutes. I've been more focused on drawing hands lately. Unfortunately, he happened to place his in front of his groin. I was well aware of this but didn't give it too much thought. I started at the shoulder, making sure I have enough space for the arm and hands. While so involved in capturing the hands, I was totally oblivious to how they fit in with the rest of the figure.
Usually. after I do a painting I tend to distance myself from it. When the water dries I pack the drawings up and look at them the next day with fresh (and sober) eyes. Unpacking the drawings the next morning, I realized how "pornographic" this painting turned out. I'm sorry if this offends anyone. I'm even more sorry if you didn't see the bad crop until I pointed it out.

This is one of the first watercolors from the Society of Illustrators drawn in 2005, before I became the moderator. I started helping out a few months prior (actually 3 years ago this week). After making friends with Jacqui Morgan, I decided to get back to watercolors, which I hadn't used in some time at that point. You can see the hesitation in the spare amounts I used in this piece.
