I like the sculpture piece your friend did, and I like how you are presenting it and yourself to us. You look like you could be a character in a Victorian era steampunk novel. The hands, I have heard that the drawing of hands is not an easy thing to accomplish and that sort of hide the hands and de-emphasis them. However I noted that you like hands, and they do look really good in the gallery images of yours I saw along with the image you presented to us here.
For me the hands were the first feature I saw in your works, and then of course I had to see what the hands were doing, and that leads to a closer examination of the whole picture for me.
It is almost like you use the hands to pull people in, some use the eyes, and I am far and away not an artist or even an art critic, I just see what I see. Welcome to Hive Block Chain, I hope you visit us on a fairly regular basis I would like to see more of your work and perhaps some insights into the why or how of it.
Thank you! I plan to be posting regularly about the paintings. I am glad you are interested!
I live in tiny town america, our idea of a gallery is the local coffee shop where some people display their art.
