This series focuses on the expressive qualities of hands. We are defined by our actions more than our words, these hands are going about the business of creating a better world. It is the simple things that give us the most pleasure, our mother's touch, the strength of dad's grip, the meals lovingly prepared, a cool drink from cupped hands. Some of these paintings are pastel, some are oil on panel. Click on the image to find out the dimensions and materials. All images are available as limited edition prints, some originals are available.
