Meanwhile, I also love drawing hands. I think it's the challenge... I find than my own 'free' left hand is usually pretty willing to pose as the other right hand is the only one that can draw! This gives them each a job and stops them from argueing ;0) Love your painting... Kind of reminds me of the scene in Titanic, where the window smacks against the steamy window! :0) Sandra Busbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05622208510609673242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8980518734197391212.post-48598687771896327692017-02-14T08:26:55.745-05:002017-02-14T08:26:55.745-05:00"We all have the same colors...just in differ..."We all have the same colors...just in different combinations."
