I have seen good people do bad things and bad people do good things. I have seen kindness from the unkind, and kind hands cause pain... As human beings we live in an ironic world. One hand bright light and pure love, while the other hand in one small dark way can erase the light.. a sketch made for study of a larger drawing... graphite/heavy drawing paper

What wonderful hands Sher, they remind me of my Grandfather, well at least the one on the light side anyway, he was a wonderful old farmer. :) I do so admire your skill, and I reall appreciate your comments, thank you. Your art is almost beyond rating, well I don't think the rating can even begin to do it justice any way but I will hit the ten and hope you know my true feelings on it.
