Human hands are one of the most beautiful things to paint and draw. We've all heard it said that the eyes are a window to the soul, but for me, the hands are every bit a revelation of the soul's qualities. When one looks at a great dancer, horse rider, musician or pool player, to name a few examples, it's the feeling in the hands that are so noticeable. You could say that one's whole body reveals your soul and it would probably be a true statement, but the hands are a special part of that soul/body.
Here are a few examples of hands from some of my paintings and drawings.
