Precious lines and stories within the lines... Graphite/16x18/bristol ~i love the abstract lines and shadows of wood..and although sometimes the eyes can be the windows to the soul, the hands show the journey to our wisdom and hardworks in life~ This drawing has approx 3 inches of border but was cropped to show the best detail... : )

To me, this is really a cross between abstract and realism. The hands seem to reflect the grainy gnarly wood they enfold. Its like an image from a dream.Maggi Carstairs 04 Aug 2005

You have such great talent in graphite, Sher. The wrinkles and veins on the hands, the nails, the fabric and the wood, it's all so perfectly done. It's funny to see the similarity in structure of the wood and the hands. Makes you feel closer to nature again.Paul Grech 21 Jun 2005

Exquisite work Sher. I've missed you.Steph Salt 19 Mar 2005
I think this is your best piece yet Sher, not just in the detail, but in it's pathos as well. I love the lines in the hands echoing the woods tecture. I also love the almost star like detail in the wood just above the hands. What with a difficult and complicated hand posture and the lines this must of taken some time and concentraition.Joke Schotting 19 Mar 2005
