Magpie #180 Nothing Up My Sleeve

Drawing Hands, 1948 by M. C. Escher 

Sleight of hand-
Nothing up my sleeve-
One hand doesn't know what the other is doing
What is real
Draw some lines-
Hard to say what truths you are viewing

  5. Whenever i look at a piece of art, i wonder what is up the artist's sleeve, or the meaning behind the meaning. Love your interpretation.

  7. Most appropriate words. I first became aware of M.C. Escher in high school and have loved his work ever since.

I love comments and will attempt to reply to each one. However, lately I have been getting "Unknown" comments that are linked to some sort of web page. I will never open this sort of comment and will immediately mark as spam. I am not interested in opening something that could be detrimental to my blog security etc. Never have enjoyed hackers! Thanks!
