Claudemir,

Thanks for your kind comment. Good question about the knee! I assume you are asking why I didn't paint it "bare"?Firstly, I decided to have more space between his head and the top of the canvas, which meant making adjustments to the bottom, leaving so little of his leg showing that I thought that a small flesh coloured patch wouldn't make sense. Secondly, even if I had more space, I probably would have still made the knee clothed to make it more "formal". Does that make sense?
