Pay no attention to the terrible rendition of the hand. That will all come out great in the end, or else I'll pitch myself off the back porch.

By the way, I finished the Somber Fruit. You can see this under the Still Life category. I must say it was quite still the whole time.
So I'm still working on Malcolm at the Buddha Board, but I have a feeling that it will end up being one of those drawings in paint that I like to do.

post script: I struggled like a navvy last night over Malcolm's hand. No, really, I got the basic outline okay  on the cavas but the fingers started to move all around and confuse the hell out of me? I couldn't tell which finger was which. And I'll tell you I was sober the whole time. So I did this: I traced the hand outline from the painting and drew the hand. Now, I can draw a hand. Yes, the drawing was good. Really it was. Then I went back to the canvas paper and I still couldn't make those fingers go where they should. I cut lines in between the fingers on the drawing and tried to hold it over the painting and make it right. No, and they (the fingers) were all misshapen and stuff like that. So this morning I got up, roared like a bear and threw myself at the hand. It appears to be shaping up okay now. Stay tuned.
