Pulling Back is an original Acrylic and Ink on canvas painting. The 2nd of a set
of 2, the painting is of a standing male figure pulling against a chord of rope.
The image highlights the tension within the figure as it pulls against dead weight,
showing structure and muscle definition of the model. The paint is applied thickly
and is simplified in detail to exaggerate the tones and form of the male figure.
The image is painted onto a hand made box canvas (depth 3.8 cm - 1.5 inches). The
size of the image (unframed) is 180 x 60 cm - 71 x 23.75 inches.
