Our daughter had a surgery which did not go well.  It required a second surgery and other procedures to save her life.  Then there has been a slow recovery.  I am happy to tell you she is now doing well.  HalleluYah.

I have gotten back to my studio and it feels so good to be painting again.  Sharon asked me if I got bored doing so much art.  My answer was, “I sometimes feel upset to have to take time out to eat and sleep!”

I finished a portrait for my niece, am working on a surprise for another friend, completed a commissioned work, started a landscape and a small botanical, got the sketch ready for my grand daughter’s portrait (fabulous) and a sketch for upcoming class in Westmont, made a list of all things in progress, and got back to work on the double portrait with the girls and their beloved pet.  I’m sure I have forgotten something.

Well, that is all for now.  I want to get in at least two hours before dinner.  Hugs, Diana
