No more walker, be gone with it already!!! YEAH Freedom. 18 days since, my new knee and I slept almost all night last night; (with the help of Advil PM ) starting to be able to turn in my sleep a bit. I only take pain meds, when I go to the Physical Terrorist, or go out somewhere, where I know I am going to be walking a while or if I am in a lot of pain (which is not a lot lately). I am improving gradually day by day. I can lift my leg now, which I could not do before. Walking with a cane now; minimal use of cane. Before you know it I will be walking assistance free and kinda back to normal. I say kinda bc I am learning to walk correctly, which I haven't done in quite some time. I am on the road to full recovery.
Pardon the reconstruction interruption, Now... back to life and art. I just finished my Island Breeze painting which was inspired by the artwork of Heather Brown, a North Shore artist. I have always liked innovative art techniques and am inspired lately by my new surroundings in Hawaii . As I looked at Heather's artwork, I had childhood memories of how I used to love to trace or outline things I colored, sometimes in black only and other times in coordinating colors. My usual painting styles include; trying to capture light variations and realistic representations. I occasionally like to try new styles, so I don't feel trapped in a box. As I was painting I thought about how the flat bands of color reminded me of paint by number art. I took a photo and interpreted it in a stylized manner. It was fun and I think I will try a similar technique with flowers in the future. My next painting will be for my sister, June. She has always wanted me to paint a bird for her, so I will...Soon to be posted, when I am finished.
Today, I made the first steps to apply for a job at Scared Hearts Academy for girls as a K-12 Art Teacher.
If that doesn't pan out..I think I will try to start my own private art lessons for children. I will keep you updated on these adventures.
