An emotional hand Study in oil paint.

Here is an oil painting study that I painted of a man’s hand in shackles.

I wish I could give credit to the original photographer of this image, but I don’t know who it is…

Poem

::::
Clenched
Contained
Repress… this disappointment
Restrict
Retract
Embrace… the pressure of our time
Sadness
This madness
Silent to our own contamination… such beauty?
Fragmented
Unraveled
Tragedy… this humanity, our nature!
Savagery is our gracefulness… i guess…
