When I first came to see this post, I found the pictures before your introduction. I was amazed at how the hands expressed their owners feelings. Very exciting to find I was on the right wavelength.

Beautiful and very revealing of a time in history.

Yes Roger, and I read somewhere that how well a painter or a sculptor portrays his or her model's hands reveals his or her real measure as an artist. I would add that if he or she is able to put expression in them - in a way, to make them talk - then he / she is a genius.

Again, thank you so much for your insightful remarks. Bringing this topic has been a pleasure to me thanks especially to your good feedback and of course, to Myrna, Lydia and Branka's contributions as well.

Hugs,

Miguel

The artist really does show a wonderful skill. The hands are so very delicate that you feel that you could hold them. Hands are very expressive and this has taught me a big lesson. Until now I have concentrated upon getting accuracy but not really considered the language.
