hands

Where I come from.
My grandfather ( from my mothers side ) is the first boy on the left side.

I love this photo... It shows such an old time, that really doesn't exist anymore, and it is not thaaaaaat long time ago. Where families got done a photo maybe once in their life time. No smiling.... carrying a flower... in contrast to our 'overload ' of photos ! I am fascinated by their faces and trying to read into them . And there she is: my great grand-mother with these unbelievable rough hands.... and her eyes ! Will do a little bit of work about that ! Now during the holidays is a good time. It won't be anything big and loud... Maybe just few drawings !

I am still following my holidays task to 'have an idea each day' from something that surrounds me.

Since a long time, I wanted to take  regularly photos of my son's hands  to record the change from children's hands to men's hands...!

 But today was actually  the first time I did take a picture ( just took me 13 years...) It would than be nice one day to have all these hands in one frame ! Preferably in black and white. 

And as usual after taking the picture , I also made a little painting , that I might paint in big....
