This is a digital design from a canvas called Hands I, painted by O’Donovan in 1999.
This was completed during her PhD painting her own hand. She would come home from a day working in the laboratory and then sit down at her easel. This was her first oil paintings so she was experimenting to see whether she could mix the right colours of flesh and show its texture and shape. She found the contrast between the flesh of her hand with the bracelets and ring she was an interesting and satisfying challenge. This piece was sold at The Body Show '07 in Melbourne, Australia in 2007.Try it!
