My latest painting in the Cigar Series features Arana Lynch, a rising star in the yoga community known for his serene yet powerful presence. This piece captures Lynch in a moment of relaxed indulgence, enjoying a glass of bourbon while savoring a drag from a cigar. Dressed in a dark gray hat, scarf, and coat, he exudes a sense of quiet confidence and sophistication. The contrast between his attire and the black leather chair he occupies adds depth to the composition, highlighting the intricate details of both his clothing and the chair's gold buttons.

The side profile of Lynch juxtaposed with the front view of the adjacent chair creates a dynamic visual narrative. This arrangement not only emphasizes the luxurious texture of the black leather and its gold accents but also invites the viewer into the intimate setting. The meticulous attention to detail, from the folds of Lynch's coat to the subtle glow of the bourbon glass, reflects the careful craftsmanship that defines the Cigar Series. Through this painting, I aim to convey a sense of calm elegance and introspection, capturing a moment of personal enjoyment and the unique character of Arana Lynch.
