That is a great picture. People's hands have always fascinated me.

I agree that it would make a great print for your studio. All his work is wonderful. Thanks for sharing.

You could still print it and frame it, or print it on fabric sheets and make a wallhanging....

The hands are beautiful. I wonder if Georgia O'keefe was left handed? So MANY artists are. Since she has her thimble on her left hand, I'll bet she was. Her hands were so thin and pretty. Beautiful picture! ALERT Nope the thimble is on her right hand. I found another pic that shows that it is on her right hand.

It's awesome...but...

I thought it was Interesting to see the thimble on the left hand, the opposite hand from the needle, rather than the ring finger of the hand that is pushing the needle. Maybe I'm using my thimble wrong?
