Drawing hands is a seperate art itself. No comments. This is just amazing.Anonymous Guest 10 May 2006
These hands are so real in their depiction. I wonder how and where these were drawn? There is a smoothness to this water coior painting. It is amazing how easy flowing it is. I am equally in awe to the prose that accompanies the painting. It sounds so personal and so near to your heart!! Outstanding work.Renata Cavanaugh 06 Apr 2006
