"My Old Ann"

- by Barbara Lovell Napoli

This week's theme: The Human Hand

Four fingers and an opposable thumb. A remarkable, capable combination. Our hands allow us to do so very much. They are both utilitarian and expressive. Hands are beautiful, dexterous; they can create and destroy. They are, inextricably, human.

-Melissa Morton

Art: My Old Ann by Artist Barbara Lovell Napoli

I am always intrigued by juxtaposing opposites- here the hands of a little one compares with the time and work worn hands of my grandmother as I remember them. Although this piece holds great personal meaning for me, I believe it can bring a feeling of nostolgia to anyone who views it.
