Zoom in on Gratitude: 30 day challenge

HANDS


My great-nephew Brian started sharing his artistic talents with the family somewhere around 1990.  One year when we were gathered at Christmas, I saw a picture he had drawn of a hand.  I was absolutely blown away.  Keep in mind he was a very young teenager at the time.  
I wanted such a picture for myself, one I could take home; this is the one I received.  it hung on my refrigerator for months before I finally tucked it away between the pages of my journal.  
These days Brian uses that talent to support himself and his family.

  1. LOVE art and the artists who create it. I can see why you liked this piece. It is very interesting. There is alot of talent displayed in that picture. I am glad he is making a living using this gift he was born with. My younger daughter is an awesome artist too, but she has totally abandoned it. So sad. I really enjoyed this post. TAKE CARE.
