Spider Doing Pushups-Hand

Close ups

Oil on 6x6 canvas panel.

This is my contribution to this week's DPW's The Hand Challenge posted by Shelley Ross.
She said, "The challenge this week is to paint one or both of your hands in a gesture - the Peace sign, Thumbs up, Hitching a ride, A-OK, or whatever hand pose moves you."

This is the "spider doing pushups on a mirror" which is ordinarily done against the opposing hand.
Just for kicks I photographed my hand doing pushups on a mirror. Whew!...Had to take a beer break after 25 reps....Hmmm...maybe I've been painting too long without working in some exercise? :lol:

  2. Dean, Love love love it.I only wish mine would have turned out as nice. It didn't. What a challenge for you to do it against the reflection. You really nailed this challenge.
