Back Trouble


Hi! Well, I knew I shouldn't lift Sadie into my lap with her being 34 lbs.. and I did anyway. How could I resist. Well, I 've got sciatica pain running down my good leg now,with back and side pain.. I had class the day after I did this at ESO in Belle Haven. Dawn, the director was so sweet. She arranged for us to have class on the bottom floor so I wouldn't have to climb the steps. I could not have done that. Anyway we had a nice class on beautiful summer flowers.We did exercises on washes and textures, painted shadow of the flower with water and the flowed in the paint, then did our vase of flowers. Everyone helped me and I parked right by the door. Braking as I was driving  was a doozy but I managed.

Today it's a bit better. I'm planning on it being better each day!!! ha.. ha.. I've tried to get my 2 little paintings framed, still have to work on it tomorrow. Sadie,our puppy, was very patient. She had her dear head on her bunny.  :) No I'm not picking her up. She doesn't sleep all the time believe me, she has been trying to eat wild mushrooms today in the backyard.. I'm trying to pick them and bending gingerly quickly to get them up before she does.. I'm sure this is silly to see.. as she rushes to pounce and eat them..

  I found a calla lily blooming in the garden tonight I've got to paint it. Love the shape and the simple elegance of the flower. Talk to you soon! have a wonderful weekend. Tell me how you are and what you are doing! love,Diana

    I agree with Celia. So sorry you are dealing with sciatica pain. I know how awful that is myself. For lap puppies, better to have them jump up by themselves! LOL

    Oh dear, I am sorry to hear that you are in pain. I hope it goes away soon. I find it difficult to lift Sherlock now as he is getting so heavy! Your paintings are gorgeous! I hope it doesn't affect that at least :0)
