It is only day seven since the break, and it was not too bad. Instead of bullishly running forward and hoping for the best I moved slowly through the day, paced myself you might say and things went much better. I am off the meds all day since the blood thinning asprin this morning.
There is just no way to be comfortable sitting at my easel so I set up my cool but never used anymore thumb box on the tripod, got out my oil pastels, took a clayboard panel I happen to have a lot of lying around and did a sketch of a tulip Jill gave me. Sitting on the edge of the bed I figured I could regulate the pressure in the leg and if it got bad I could roll up onto my back and continue working on my lap.
Worked perfectly, tomorrow I may take the rig out to the deck and set up shop there where I can keep my leg raised and take in the sound of the garden and the fresh air too.
It was great visiting with you yesterday and seeing you slowly, very slowly, on the mend.
ReplyDeleteI write this to tell you how much your art stimulates my creative thinking. When I first saw your art about a year ago, it was like learning to drink wine. You're not too sure you like it, but as you continue, it starts to bring new meaning to you. The more I see your paintings, the more they shift my creative point of view. I find them pulling me in through attraction and at times, discomfort. But always pulling me in.
Having been a fine art and commercial photographer for many years, I really appreciate your vision and your pursuit of it. I also admire your continual exploration of the process and the vision. Your are dancing out near the edge that few of us know about or how to get to that edge. Keep it up! ........... geo
