Working on something new

Yesterday I was working on my paintings for the church and I need a little break. I decided to do a figure study in oil. I've missed oil painting, there's just something about the smoothness of it compared to acrylic. I did this study of myself:

I'm not quite done with it but I'd like to continue doing some more studies. This pose is a combination of things. It might seem like someone laying in the sun relaxing but for me it's a little different. I always sleep with my hand on my stomach, I think it's a comfort thing. When I was little my mom always rubbed my stomach when I was sick. Sometimes I wake up and have my arms over my head too. During this time in my life when things are hard, I see body language as a subconscious way of dealing with different things. There's a few more things about it but I'll let you have your thoughts.
