The figure’s legs bend, one crossed in front and one to the side. The front side of the body is in shadow, and the arms are wrapped around the torso and towards the head.  Texture: Both physical and visual texture surround the body, with linear patterns that break and bounce like raindrops. Texture within the figure appears almost like weathered metal. Primary colors: blues, greys, earth tones, and light neutrals.   How big is it?  This is the approximate scale of a 16x20" painting, compared to a person who is 5' 8" tall:
