Original artwork description:

I have painted this wonderful man many times.
He has such a presence - a dark mystery.
He was working hard - hefty work, but I managed to grab him while he had a little break ( hence the title), pleasantly shirtless so that I could show off his tattoos, with harsh sunlight on his torso.

I wanted to give him a background that more reflects his gentle nature than his overall look does - so floral wallpaper is a quirky contrast.
Signed both front and reverse. Chunky box canvas with edges painted grey.

Ships supported within a hardboard case- so more substantial than a cardboard box, but not quite a crate.

Materials used:

oil
