Hands can be tricky. Sometimes the position makes it hard to see how many fingers are there. The mind wants to put them in whether they can be seen or not. So, ideally, the brain fills in what the eyes can't see.

Very nice Diana. You are right about the number of fingers, the mind does want them to be there. This is beautifully done.
I have been catching up with all your previous paintings, Diana. They are all AMAZING.!!! This one is wonderful as well. Hands are not easy to paint...you did beautifully as always.
This is such a sensitive piece. Love it!
Carol: interesting, isn't it, how our minds work? I'm trying to remember that I don't need to put in everything.
Hilda: hands and feet can indeed be a challenge. This position of the hands was especially so, and I'm glad the study turned out.
Ruth: I like that. I hope much of my work is sensitive. Thank you for the nice compliment!
