"X is for X-ray" is the final painting to be completed in my Alphabet Block series.  It took a little longer to dry in order to be varnished than Y and Z.    I knew I wanted to do something with x-rays....but it took me awhile to settle on hands.  I even contemplated placing the X block inside a skeleton where the stomach would be as if it had been swallowed.  But in the end with only a 6" x 6" panel to work with the hands seemed to be the perfect composition.
