Jerry's painting is finished. I hope he likes it :) Gapstow Bridge, 9x12 watercolor and ink

Been really busy so only have had time for some gardening. The mini roses are going crazy!

The whole, "orchids growing on the trellis on their own" experiment didn't quite work, so I potted them up. Looks much neater and I think they'll be happier.

The mint plant is also going crazy. Think I'll make some ice tea tonight ;)

Just keep swimming...

... as Dory would say.

So I'm just swimming along doing things that I'm capable of doing without pain. Painting is good. It's very cathartic for me. Here's a watercolor of Gapstow Bridge in Central Park I'm doing for Jerry

The ink drawing

And color starting to brighten it up. Have much more work to do on it.

I got a Mirrix loom ... Big Sis, with a weaving width of 13" and max length 36" I think. I've warped it, which was easy peasy, and now am adding the string heddles. I'm sort of thinking about buying the Mirrix heddles as I think mine are too chunky.

I go to the doctor tomorrow to see what is my next step in getting better. I have the sinking feeling that surgery may be in my future.
