If this picture had sound, I fancy it would be a violin. Actually, now that I pause, I can hear it I think. It's the first bars of Bartok's No 1 Concerto. Thank you.
as someone who's tried painting, this reminds me of how hard it is to paint light skin. It has no color of its own and seems to share in the color around it. I get a strong sense of that from this photo. the colors deconstruct and reconstruct as I look at it. a fascinating image.
Fine. Really fine. Wonderful hands that have known many years of work, of love, of laughter, and doubtless of sorrow. The rich, warm colors are as beautiful as the hands.
