Yes Hands

I had remembered when I drew hands for a piece of stained glass I was going to work on but never got to it.  I thought those are perfect..  I looked through my art work and was able to locate them.  I quickly placed them on top of my painting along with my Sistine Chapel book.  I was afraid to start.  Pencil is so easy to erase but paint is not.  I stared at the painting for months waiting to be brave.  I kept thinking about so many different ways to approach this piece but nothing felt right.  Finally I thought why not just use the hands I already drew.  Of course!  I copied the hands I already drew.  I made copies on the copy machine and traced around those as well.  It was exactly how I wanted it.  The first set of hands were on the painting.
