This is very intriguing; I love it! It’s unlike the traditional American handshake; it takes the “business” out and some how adds heart and commitment…trust.

wow this is excellent. i love the holding hands thing. i actually just did one of my own in watercolor. the depth you have here is very nice indeed.

thanks all! it’s actually a direct negative (a painting of a photo I reversed) – if you digitally invert the photo of this painting, there is a black background and skin coloured hands – sounds a bit confusing, but i so love blues… i also wanted to paint the difficulty of holding on…
Estelle O'Brien
Marvellous job.

You did convey the difficulty of holding on, and in such a sad and lovely blue. Beautiful work. Smiles from Jane.
