Enzie,
I understand you enjoy painting hands. It's a great challenge, isn't it? Where my artwork is concerned I try not to allow difficulties to stop me from getting what I want. Have you thought about going the extra mile by getting a model to pose his hands.
I've seen many men like this while living in Asia. They are often rugged men who a forced by life's demands to work with their hands. Food is sometimes scarce, and just feeding and housing their families is a lifetime achievement.
I was on Yellow Mountain China a while back, and after taking a sky lift almost up to the top, I was shocked to see men like this man carrying furniture up to a hotel near the top of the mountain. This was an April day full of sunshine at the foot of the mountain, and the top of the mountain was full of snow.
Well, enough of my rambling. A construction worker of a similar age and build can be a big help here. He may also give you some interesting insight into the kind of lifestyle he leads. Good luck. I'll be interested to see what you decide to do.
