It is so nice to be home on a Saturday. My first in quite a while. It was a lazy morning but I got a lot done during the rest of the day. I'm slowly finding little areas of the house where I want to organize things prior to the move. And I worked on one my paintings and am almost finished with "the big commission". But, I think I could spend hours on the computer and never get caught up. Thanks goodness for a thunder storm and time to stay inside to do so.
It's been a rather odd week. After returning from travels, I think I'd caught a bug of some sort and took about three days regaining my strength and energy. Then I had a few days of getting caught up with house stuff and art stuff. Then on Thursday I spent most of the day with a friend and her sister in the hospital as we waited for word on their father's medical condition. He'd been in the hospital for a week but even though he looked well was suffering from lung cancer. Unfortunately, things worsened overnight - the family was called in and he passed away Friday afternoon. He was a dear, sweet friend that I got to know through his daughter, my friend Patty. I had fun trying to make him laugh and smile while we played cards. He became a joy to be around and a sweet friend. I will miss him. I know his family will too.
And in the sense of "Art is long, Life is Brief" I've been painting. I am including here my latest two. One is "Autumn Inlet" - 18" x 31", oil on canvas and the other "Bella Umbria", 18" x 36", oil on canvas. I hope you like them.
