Communion
12x16 o/c

I had started sketching this scene before I got sick. I was going to try my hand at rocks and there's hardly any better place to see rocks in a beautiful setting than at Matador Beach.

I had a series of photos taken the summer before last when my Italian niece, Giorgia, was visiting with her family. My brother in law had just bought me a new camera since I had "drowned" my original one while on a white water rapid trip down the Gallatin River. I have a wonderful little video of Tyler playing in the surf... but it's sideways... hard to watch but impossible to throw away the joyous giggles and screams as the water chases him back and forth.

Anyhow, since I got pneumonia I hadn't painted. I was feeling better Friday and Saturday so I decided to give it a try. Good thing I did it then because I'm flat on my back again today. I'm sure it's just a temporary setback but I wanted to be well, so I'm feeling sorry for myself. The Australian cousins are due for a 10 day visit tonight... Don't know when I'll be back painting. Hope I'll at least be out of bed!!

Marian,
Glad to hear you are feeling better. I too have had what seems to be a string of health issues recently and know what you mean when you say it robs you of the desire to do the things you loved doing.

For me, I think it is the 'age' thing...making recovery slower. I'm well now but the energy level still isn't back to what it was.

I decided we just need to give ourselves permission to move a little slower for awhile!

Take care and happy painting.
