getting back in the grove

a start of the totem picture

starting to paint again

March 27 Thursday 2014

Shannon informed me I should update my blog so here goes. Decided to start painting my totems( small virgin) . I thought I might try oils. Well I opened my oil box and what a mess. So I had to clean the tubes. What a job It took all morning and part of the afternoon I had the picture drawn out.( want to do a 24x48 for behind my couch. this is a 12x24) I had worked on Derby Pats dog but I am not too happy with it. We have been busy with the house too . Our light in the kitchen are up. The poor guy pit a hole right through to the living room but he patched it and I have already painted it. The track lights for my treasures look real good . I am happy. The fireplace man came today and checked it out as there was a lot of soot. He also said that the logs were in backwards. Tonight I can read by the fireplace. I have had no after effects with the radiation and am feeling good. Even my knee is feeling better.

back to normal whatever that is

March 4 Tuesday 2014

Things are settling down ,suitcases unpacked and put away and grocery shopping done. Sherri nicely had the heat and water turned on. I had my first radiation treatment yesterday and go back Wednesday and next Monday. No ill effects so far and not painful. The snow is just about all gone but the weather is cold. I sure miss the coffee, mangoes and avocados .
