Description
This Thumbs-Up Artwork was created for the Three-Day Challenge Addicts Club contest (Anything Goes) - Day 1. I took a photo of a plaster hand I had created and then used software to create this digital image.
While the exact source of the thumbs gesture is obscure, a number of origins have been proposed. It has been suggested that 'thumbs up' was a signal from English archers preparing for battle that all is well with their bow and they are ready to fight. The Oxford English Dictionary cites the earliest written instance of "thumbs-up" (with a positive meaning) as being from Over the Top, a 1917 book written by Arthur Guy Empey. My depiction is nothing but a positive meaning. Thumbs Up!!
