A Painting a Day




Monday Monday...still can't type with both hands. A friend suggested Neuro Muscular Massage...so I am on a mission! Help is soon! We continue to gather bids for the renovation of this house and the addition of STUDIO space! YEAH.... meanwhile I paint in my little room!

This unique painting is the first of many with this application. I had a dream last week about it and started it on Friday...Finished it up on Saturday...and listed it on eBay on Sunday. I wanted a KOI painting that was more low key and mood setting to calm cool colors and when Terry walked in and said WOW...I knew I had succeeded with my dream. I am sure it will evolve more as it goes as well with the next one. I used several palette knives as well as Impasto mixed with the paint to give it thickness.

I am also excited to welcome Liberty to the studio...she is a young woman that I have known for almost ten years now...and she will be helping with all the computer related stuff and with art classes later once the final studio is put back together. I believe I will see her art develop as she works here, she has much hidden talent!

Have a great day today...I will return typing one handed tomorrow...gotta go rest my right hand now. Oh I want to share what Iris wrote me....

Let us decrease so He may increase
and let us remember that ego is really: Edging God Out.

The Thought:  Our youngest daughter is still very ill.   I am pumping her full of fruit and juices, mucinex and tylenol etc but it is not a positive thing right now. Does not look like we will make my older daughter's house for Thanksgiving.  I am sad because there will be new family to be attending along with everyone that has NOT been together since the dea
