How long has it been?

My goodness. I can’t remember the last time I posted. It’s been a while. Sorry for worrying some of you, but I’m doing OK. Grab a cup of coffee or tea and relax it’s time for a catch-up post. Last week I had my treatment. It was a difficult one. I’m just starting to feel [...]

I’m in painting heaven

It’s been a while since I’ve really spent an entire day – two days in a row, actually – painting. And not just painting, but painting big, sweeping strokes with my largest brushes… It’s been far too long. The thing about painting is that when I get away from it, I forget the fabulous freedom [...]

Catalyst 28 – Negative Behavior/Habit I’ve overcome

Negative behavior/habit I’ve overcome: I’ve always been a saver. Not just saving money and things, but saving people. To some extent, it’s been touted as a good attribute; however, it had become a negative in my life. Trying to rescue people – from themselves, from their circumstances, from their addictions, from others – is not [...]

Back in the swing

Well, now that you’ve read of my trip to France, and I’ve documented that, I’m happy to share that I’ve been doing other things the past week. I’ve been preparing for Art Unraveled. Five or six of my art friends are coming into town and we’re looking forward to a great week with them. I’ve [...]

Painting again

Today I decided to sit in the studio. I wasn’t sure what I was going to do, but I was getting sick of the den and I needed to be back in the studio, with all my creative “stuff”. I thought I’d just clear my desk and sit and draw, but then I talked with [...]

What I’ve been up to

There is really not much to report here. No art to share… The good news is that I’m feeling well. I’m exercising regularly, making sure I’m ready for all the walking we’ll do in France. And, happily, I’m also finally shedding some of the pounds and inches that have been bugging me for a while. [...]

Every Day in May #5

It’s May 5th – Day 5 of the Every Day in May challenge. For the first time in a while, I was feeling up to spending time in the studio today. I walked in and immediately decided I needed to paint. I had an urge to get messy! So, I drew the outline of a [...]

Saturday art

Today has been a great day! I woke up feeling great and excited for the day. For weeks, Angie and I have been planning to join in the International Sketchcrawl and we did it! We finally got to spend some time together and I was able to get out of the house! Today was the [...]

Friday Drawing

As usually happens after my treatment, last night and today have been worse for me than yesterday was. I’m not surprised. It’s my usual flow. This morning I felt awful and sat in the den and stared at shows that I had saved on TiVo for just this reason. Dave left for work and I [...]

Wednesday Update

This morning I am waiting for the visiting nurse to come and start my IV of my monthly treatments. I’m happy to be doing it in the privacy of my own home. I really feel better when I know I don’t have to drive or be driven both ways. We’re also expecting my sister-in-law this [...]
