Beautiful Hands

I believe that hands are the most expressive parts of the human body as well as the most interesting. You can tell so much about a person just by looking at the hands. Are the fingernails dirty? Or long? Are they worn? Are they old and wrinkled with age? Hands can be used in language as well as in creating artwork.

Hands tell a story of our lives. Hands intrigue me with their beauty and strength. Hands illustrate each individual's life and what they have done with it. Hands show emotion and character, good or bad. Hands show intimacies such as holding the hand of a loved one. Hands can portray what occupation a person is involved in. The hands may show frustration when a fist of anger. Hands show age, experiences and habits. From an artists' perspective, they also show color, texture, form, and the elements of design. Hands are versatile and amazing.
