Paint no matter what

 Long time since I have signed in. I'm so very sorry . I had 2 foot surgeries this year. First a Bunionectomy which actually made my foot worse, then surgery to correct the first surgery, a toe fusion which I am healing from now. I know what has this got to do with my art, well, just about everything.  I haven't been able to do my art shows, missed a few classes to teach and learned to Paint in the recliner. We moved last year too, so now we are on the water and not in my little forest. A beautiful place but I do miss the inspiration of wandering around the woods. My Dad just died 2 weeks ago. I miss him so much. So as you can see I'm still painting but have had a lot going on. I just wanted to catch you up and say keep painting and drawing I am. Love Diana

Happy New Year, Bird Paintings and Sadie

 Sadie is fine. I just thought I'd put a snuggly photo on. Right now she is in my lap. My foot is slowly getting better and I do mean slllooowlly. It is exasperating.  I teach next weekend,  John won't be going with me to Norfolk so I will have to do all the hauling and walking myself. I hope I can do it. I 've sold 3 paintings this week. Mostly little bird paintings,  one thru a gallery this is good, I am tickled. I have been painting birds lately. I hope you all are doing well and each of you has a Happy healthy new year. Love to you, Diana
