detail, DEATH DRAWING OF 
MY OLD MAN: HIS HANDS

Pencil. 1995. The whole drawing (not shown) is 
18" H x 24" W

Drawn at the hospice after my father passed on. I'd always wanted to draw his hands - this was my last opportunity. 

His hands were weathered and leathery looking from years of work and sun.
