a new print about hands

I finally put a new print on etsy this morning. It stems from my obsession with drawing hands and bony vowels.

 Mostly I draw my own left hand while often admiring the hands of others and wishing to draw them too. My hand is always available and rarely gets impatient. The older it gets the more interesting it is and I wonder if the lines deviate more than I know from choices made and changes of fate. 

 While attempting to draw everyday, I end up drawing a lot of letters. I love vowels. Have you ever heard the old Gal Costa song from the early 1970's where she sings A,E,I,O,U? Of course I don't remember the name of it. It's in Portuguese as Gal Costa is Brazilian and if you listen to it, it will help your word formation. The vowel sounds are glue, learning them is a vital first step to language learning and reading. 

I hope you are well and that the sun is shining where you are too. I have to get off of this evil machine and out of this pretty coffee shop where I've been sitting too long.
