Well now, I've not been doing much for the past few months since I've had double knee surgery. It's basically taken my life and turned it up side down. Not a good thing at tall. However, I think I'm on the mend but I've said that so many times before and soooooo many times before I've had major set backs and ended up in great pain and wishing I were dead.

I've not been in my studio for over 8 months and I'm feeling the need to create. I tried to paint while I was in the bed recovering from knee surgery but some worked well and other were terrible. I could only work with watercolors since doing anything else in the bed would have been a disaster. It was bad enough in bed with a bowl of water, palette and various materials you need to create a water color. I used a clip board as my easel and the watercolor paper was approximately 3"x5". Working small is great but it has it's challenges. I've done several small works over the years using gouache, acrylic, oils, watercolors and oil pastels. I'll post what I accomplished soon.
