Studio Sunday: The Hands That (can't) Feed You

Someday I hope to be able to paint hands well. I don't think I do now. However, like with portraits, more practice, more practice, more practice....and a bit more patience..... I think I'l be able to do hands I'm proud of. 

I've been working on a painting since December, and worked so much on it on some stayacation time off at that time that I haven't worked on it since then. April has been quite a busy month. March had it's moments as well. I decided to pick this painting back up again this weekend. It's not done. I'm not satisfied yet. I'm starting to feel I have overworked the hands... I have layered too much paint. However, it's an experience, it's practice, learning curves. Even if it's not how I envisioned, I could come back someday and start brand new, try again, but for now, for this:

Sometimes you have to show the things before they are finished to motivate you. More on that next time.
