For a long time now, I have sort of an obsession
with hands, feet, all kind of crazy shoes and big ears.
Not only do I collect slides, photo's, post cards and so on,
but I also love to paint them.

For years now, I am wondering what caused this obsession.
If you think you have the answer or
if you think your hands, feet or ears are worth painting.
