I received these photos of Amazing Hand Paintings from a friend via email; I thought the images are pretty amazing. These were done by the artist Guido Daniele.
This made me think of tattoo art, wouldn’t it be something if it were permanent.
A message from the email: Takes this fellow four hours to do a hand. Then he photographs it for posterity. I cannot imagine how he does the eyes so remarkable lifelike. It took him 10 hours to do the two-handed Eagle in picture #2.

Those are really amazing. I think I like the zebra and the first elephant best. The texture of the hand makes great wrinkles for the elephant.

Hi Bookbabie, Jenny, and Laotian Teacher, one of my favorites is also the first elephant, I’d never have thought to use hand as canvas. I also like the tiger and the owl, their eyes are amazing.
