Hands of Art Five skilled digits command the old chiseling tools, with strength and grace and purpose they sculpt, hammer held tight by a well-toned musculature, fingertips worn down smooth, nails cropped short. Pasty hands would surely welcome rays of sunshine but stay pale from indoor work, some heavy lifting. Paint streaks up the arms from a recent portrait: yellows, reds, blues, and all the secondary colors camouflaging healed cuts, nicks, and scratches that are the wear and tear of occupational hazards for those who shape the canvas and the stone.
