'Olympian'

One of my younger friends is an Olympic canoeist. Due to twelve years of hard training his body is one of the most perfect I have ever seen. There is a beauty in his fully toned muscles and I consider this work one of my best in this type of sculpture. He posed for three sessions with four to six hours for each session.
