Well I didn't expect this! 10-5-10

Well, dang. The other day I stumbled at an art meeting and almost fell twice. My good friend Ron Covert was honest enough to call and tell me it looked suspicious......so I go to the GP. Sure enough...looks like something wrong. CT and artery tests show I have a clot and I have had a mini stroke.
The one thing I love to do is write... can't write. I type easier...but I'm practicing handwriting again. Ahhhh crumb, if it isn't one thing it's 2. more to come after the visit to the neurologist this afternoon. He can't tell me too many more worse things.......can he?

Where is art in all this? It's keeping me sane.

I cling to my family, my wonderful husband and such kind friends.

Art is what keeps me going. When I can't draw that curve I try again...and again...and again.

Good morning, a beautiful day. I was going to do some mini pictures today. But I need quiet I envy those who can paint and talk because I find it very hard. Norm has gone golfing and life here is very quiet. We are winding down from 2-3 weeks of family coming and going.
I spoke to the curator of a new gallery and look forward very much to hearing more from her.

10-8-10 The Pink Show

I went last night to The Pink Show at Sorensens. I had about 20 minutes to look at the whole show. And I raced through. I didn't get enough time to see and feel it all..but what I did see was so inspiring. Such feelings and emotions! And also I had two pieces...one a dove the other an abstract of pink, white and...Oh you just have to go see
Right now I'm just doing a number of 'small' paintings. They are about 6" X 8" and today is already going fast..so back to work.

Sunday , October 3, 2010--no rain.

Happy Sunday all.
I woke up to watching some football players wearing pink sneakers...with a big pink ribbon on the field.
So it is the day to remember breast cancer. I hope you can remind someone, most every family has dealt with this horrible illness. Perhaps light a candle?

I woke up also to a wet day. The rain had just drizzled in my part of town. I felt CHEATED. No steady rain. Mother Nature isn't cooperating .

I dropped off two paintings at the Pink Show yesterday at Chris Sorensens'. It's a shame more people don't go to his wide open studio of treasures. There is no charge and a world of artists show there.
Especially don't miss The Pink Show !
