Well - did some painting this morning while marking time for my Dr. appointment.
"Gasprilla Island To The South"
Gasprilla is a barrier island off the coast Punta Gorda and the town of Boca Grande is out there. Very, very beautiful area.
9 X 12 on heavy linen paper done wet into wet with gusto and freedom of strokes.
DETAIL
I think I'll take a break from landscapes for a couple of days and switch to still life - I need to see if I have some bigger canvas or linen paper as it is hard to be real loose when painting on a small surface - small being anything less than 16 x 20. I love to paint on large 36 x 48 gallery wrapped canvas but alas no room in the RV for something that size!!!!
Most everything I paint these days is for fun and in many ways an adventure in loosening up and just plain having fun. Perhaps when we settle into the condo I will look for outlets to try and sell my paintings - however that said and I just said it ----- trying to sell art in a bad economy almost borders on stupidity - or wishful thinking. It only tends to wear you down and get you more discouraged than before you started trying to sell.
I now paint-paint-paint and then I purge and throw away - throw away - throw away - as I say it is mostly for fun now and painting and my DW Melissa keeps me out of bar rooms. :>)
Well, went to the new Dr. today and he seems nice enough - we talked for a while and I gave him a copy of some medical records my Dr. in Santa Fe had given me to pass onto my next Dr.
They drew 6 vials of blood - ( I felt like a donor!!!) He renewed my Rx's for me and I have a followup visit in three weeks so he can go over the results of the blood test with me
My BP was a tad higher than normal -I attribute that to our "FREE DIET" over the past 8 months and I'm sure now that we are some what settled down I can bring that back into a good range. So i hope our "FREE DIET" has not done any damage to my frail little body!!!!! I weighed in at 156 so that was good!!!! :>)
Have a nice evening and day tomorrow - I'm going to try and do some more washing of the RV so it will be about 1/2 done and then finish it this weekend.
Later my buddies.
