Original artwork description:

I love this painting. The title, "The Contender", speaks to a challenge for the championship. The Contender's body posture tells the story of concentration. What is before him is of great importance. I chose to paint the children's game of hopscotch as the subject of his concentration. The children's game coupled with the seriousness of the contender shows how trivial our daily sressors can be.
