Study for a larger painting

This is a study I did in preparation for a larger painting that I have in mind for my series entitled "The generosity of water" ( I came across that phrase in a Mary Oliver poem).  I did the initial drawing from a live model and then tried to imagine how the water would distort his figure.  It needs some work and more research.  I'm planning to visit Nambe Falls in the next few days (leaving for Santa Fe this evening) and hopefully get a few photos to work from for this painting.
