I was so grateful to receive permission from David Schermann to use one of his photos as a reference to paint.
There has always been such a fascination and love for hands. The ability to express oneself without words. The pure beauty, pain and love they communicate and the feats they can accomplish. Whether you see the subject as either male or female, it is important to feel the emotion without judgement, just acceptance. We all express and feel things in our own way. To me the image expresses itself depending on your own state of mind. Love or hardship. Purity or promiscuity. Just love yourself for who you are, we are all already too hard on ourselves for anything less.
