so here are two quarry paintings i did for "the art and soul of bloomington"..an annual show held at the Venue..my gallery over there..i think the one on the bottom has been selected to be in the show.. and the other will be hanging in the gallery..so i started these before my surgery on the 9th of may..i couldn't do much of anything for a while..painting wise or any other wise...my husband was amazing...my own personal caregiver!!..not only did he do all the cooking.. i taught him how to do laundry...run the sweeper...make coffee..run the dishwasher..not that he couldn't have learned all that ..but those were the things i did while he did all the cooking!.. i still managed to get the bills paid!..my wonderful friends brought food and flowers and my daughter came over to help every time davey had to work a long morning...it was slow going and i was nervous i was messing up my result..doing too much?..but two days short of six weeks we saw my surgeon and he said i was all healed and i could go play golf!!..yikers!!.. so i've been out a few times..not good golf but little by little i'm trusting that i can shift my weight properly to get through the ball!..so we're finally at the cottage this week..first time!.. played a few holes yesterday til we got rained out.. spent about 45 minutes under a shelter on the golf course..bored...jen and the kids came up last night.. lots of fireworks, a huge thunderstorm and of course rummy kub!!!...boogs and fam are coming up tomorrow along with some cousins!!.. the opening for the show at the Venue is saturday night.. my birthday...so i won't be able to be there but it's always a great show in case anyone is in the neighborhood!!
