I am taking a painting class, but I can’t manage going in to the painting studio. The class is crowded, and having to get around on the Fully Manual Motorcycle knee wheeler contraption is hard enough when there are no obstacles like easels, other students, stools. It would be impossible to manage in a crowded painting studio. So I’m painting at home. This is easier than it sounds. I’m using Shiva paintsticks. They come in lots and lots of colors plus iridescent colors. You can use them like crayons and dry brush to blend colors. Or, you can use the colorless blender stick that acts like a wonderful medium and you can work with the paintsticks the same as you would work with oil paint. The paint is supposed to be dry to the touch in 24 hours. I like not having to use mineral spirits in the house. I have two cats and a dog all of which have little lungs. What might not pose a problem for me can be a huge problem for them.
Here’s what I’ve done so far. I can see I need to clean up some brush strokes. I was working with thalo green, thalo blue and ultramarine blue.
I’ve been working with wire wrapping and it’s a whole lot harder than I thought.
I’ve been able to do some mending so I found out I can sew with my left foot. This is good because there’s a lot of sewing I need to do. At least one pair of jeans and several bras.
I had a CT scan and an MRI this week. Next week, I find out about surgery.
