On day 5 I removed more stone from under the arm and sanded the whole piece with medium grit sandpaper in water. This is an intriguing discovery phase revealing details of the stone's character. A beautiful green vein appeared up the back of the sculpture (great news) but the white blotch on the man's belly persisted. I find the belly blotch distracting and intend to resand the area with rough paper to remove a skin of stone from the entire belly and hopefully decrease the blotch's intensity. Out damn spot. like Lady MacBeth, my scrubbing intensifies.
