The monk

Its New Year's Eve and many of us are making New Year resolutions (of course it may last hardly a week). One has this saintly feeling with all the resolutions and stuff. That inspired me to paint this monk today. My best friend and critique, my better half felt that the monk was leaning in a bit too much. My explanation was that the resolutions induced a meditative trance and he is leaning on his staff as a result.
Enjoy the resolutions and saintly phase until you break the "resolutions" :)
