I Have Hand

This is number number 8 in my series of conglomerates. This was the first one not in pen and ink. It is graphite, watercolor and colored pencil and I use the Renaissande technique of "glazing" by layering many layers of colors, one on top of the other until I decide it has reached its final state. The subject was inspired by the grace and power of gesture in Great Britain and the United States, since I am most familiar with those cultures.
