the verdict and art

Thank you to those of you who have sent me emails of hope that there was not a break in the wrist. Luckily, there was no break of bones, but two ligaments were torn. I’m using a wrist splint and will be for the next 3 weeks, when I get to have x-rays and follow-up [...]

New Painting

I’ve been painting again! It’s been great to have the brush in my hand on a regular basis. This one is finished. And Dave has claimed it for his office! I had started this canvas a while ago, but until I went to the Chihuly exhibit, I wasn’t sure what was going to happen with [...]

CreativeTherapy Catalyst 23

This week’s CreativeTherapy Catalyst has just been posted. Do be sure to visit and participate by sharing your response to this week’s catalyst, “What do you collect or hoard?”

Journaling:
For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by the history of things, especially vintage train cases and old photographs. I can’t resist [...]

CreativeTherapy – Catalyst 19

Before I left for France, I made myself finish one more catalyst since I knew I would be exhausted upon our return and that I’d have my treatment soon, too. Well, I’m so glad I did, because it’s Sunday again! And Catalyst 19 is now up. It’s “What is your quirk/idiosyncrasy?” Click on the image [...]

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. I’m [...]

Mannequin Madness

I’ve kept up with my drawing for the Every Day in May challenge. I have been like a madwoman with my mannequin drawing this week! I think part of the appeal is being able to pose them – reminds me of playing with Barbie as a kid. Granted, it’s been a long time, and the [...]

Every Day in May #8

Today I didn’t have much time for drawing. I went to meet Angie for coffee this morning. She’s getting ready to leave on vacation for a week and we were both in need of a visit! Then I had a meeting with a woman who was interested in seeing the Baha. We met at 10:30 [...]

Every Day in May – #3 & 4

The past two days have been hard for me physically. Yesterday I spent most of the day in bed with fatigue and vertigo. I did draw yesterday – two things, so I’m going to count them as yesterday’s and today’s in case I can’t get drawing done today (but I’ll still try!).
Today I’m tired and [...]

Every Day in May Day 2

Today I am still feeling fatigued from the treatment. No surprise there… However, I am still challenging myself to keep up with at least one drawing each day. Today I did two challenges from the Every Day Matters Group.
EDM 31 – Draw something you collect.
I brought my grandmother’s vintage train case into the den, [...]
