Two Hands

This beautiful sketch shows the delicate interaction and embrace of not only two hands, but two opposing forces. The male and female hands intimately caress in a soft fingertip touch, complimented by the striking contrast of the bare wood to the dark charcoal background. Observe the gentle grain patterns from the birch wood board softly appearing through the charcoal and adding a unique texture to the piece.

100x75cm, charcoal on wood panel.
