Your eyes still 'see' what's needed to make a great painting. I too love the power in her hands.

I go onward also. I am honored to be a part of the sisterhood:) I want to tell you again I think your Hawaii painting is lovely. It has such "feeling!" Also - Do you sell your jewelry from your blog or somewhere else?<BR/>Barb <BR/><BR/>Rhonda - Thank you so much for your comments - you are always so supportive. I was quite taken with her large hands also. It was amazing to me, though, that such a frail looking elderly lady could do all that welding, etc. As far as my hands are concerned, the brushes don't bother me so much, as long as I don't try to do too much detail work. Knowing how tight I am, there are times that I just have to take a break:)<BR/>BarbBarb Sailorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01632810668704142394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6477523791028247348.post-39938016620428484072009-02-26T16:02:00.000-05:002009-02-26T16:02:00.000-05:00So much pain comes with aging.

This drawing is wonderful and I really like the large hands, strong and able to work large sculptures! I'm so glad wielding a brush isn't as painful to you as drawing :)RH Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497161758269292809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6477523791028247348.post-79533910831504977112009-02-25T20:57:00.000-05:002009-02-25T20:57:00.000-05:00Oh, Barb!

So, I go onward, with this artisan jewelry and watercolor painting, and hope to go onward for many years! So, here is to painful hands and advancing age! We all seem to deal with this so we might as well form a sisterhood! SusanWatercolors by Susan Roperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15091873961431846148noreply@blogger.com
