Hands 36 - oil painting
I'm still out there (in more ways than one). I've been busy in the studio with the latest artwork. There's a few more to follow closely on the heels of this one.

Excellent detail, great work
I feel you @leoplaw we are out there quietly working. I'm trying to stay connected here as much as possible, but working and dealing with family and also the daily task of 'social media' it is always tempting to want to unplug. Then when I do for a couple days I feel like I've time warped, it's an odd feeling.
This is amazing! I love how much time and colour and light and form has gone into this hand and rope. To focus on this bit of the body in such detail is genius and it must be a bit of a suspended time feeling when working on it. I always feel 'out of Time' (like I'm not living in Time not that I don't have enough) when I am painting, how about you?
It seems in my time away from Steemit the past week I missed the drama in the Steemit art community... thankfully. My time is too precious for such pointless dramas.
What you are describing, sounds like what is referred to as, "being in the Zone" of "flow state".
I'm going to watch this video. I don't know if it is any good yet.
It usually takes me a while to get into that state. I need to investigate some methodologies to invoke it more readily. I guess a practice or "ritual" might be the trick to call the subconscious to attention.
" I missed the drama in the Steemit art community.."
wish it would be that easy for me to detach. When some trolls attack my friends, I can't just sit still. Nor could I sit still 10 years ago when a fraud and serial con-man was ripping off artists on social media, such as Facebook.
Yes, you risk something getting into the fray, but as they say: "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."
Yes, but these frays are not comparable to that which quote is referencing. 10 years ago, is it really that long ago, the Jojo Marango fiasco. My experience with that is the reason why I let such things pass under my radar.
tug of war? who won?
Me! =)
Bravo!
Thank you, thank you Dunja. =)
Really really good one. I like the purple nodes in the flesh tones!
Cheers!
