At Peace
Day 30 I wanted something special. Something that would sort of sum up the month of the challenge and the theme I chose... hands. Some were conceptual and some more to the realistic... all showed hands in some form or another. For the final sketch, I feel they are all sketches, I looked at the hands of one the most famous paintings. Most recognize the enigmatic smile of Mona Lisa but her hands show such elegance and restfulness they are at peace....we all want and need peace.... within ourselves and within our world.
This is far from perfect.... rubbed down first attempt and started a new..
