This is a follow-up w.i.p. for this: [link]

I was only able to work on this, recently, because there were LOTS of social "detours" along the way. Now that the "reunion/get-together" season is over, I can finally go back to my desk and paint. Can you imagine... I'm complaining about having too much social-life! That's why I like to have more time for work than for party because at least I can enjoy drawing.

A few days ago, I found myself taking a stroll at the mall, when I heard this playing loud: [link] _{Don't be silly... just click on it!!!} It was from a gym booth promoting their new "Fitness First" branch. There was a crowd gathered in the area. I found a clear spot and watched as the fitness team made an exhibit of "slimming/toning" moves. As I have taken martial arts classes some years ago, I noticed that some of their steps were borrowed from Aikido, Karate and Arnis and turned into dance steps! Crazy! Looks fun, too! After snapping mental pictures of the many exercises, I went home and tried it out. The next day, I woke up sore in all places! But I feel good. I might do this twice a week.

I don't even know why you're still reading this. It has nothing to do with the portrait.

Thanks for looking.
