A Good-Bye (for now) Message

Dear Blogging Friends,

Very early in the morning on January 3rd

I suffered as many have before me a familiar home accident.

Funny how fast something can happen.

I fell and broke a hip and damaged some ribs which all left me with 

many harmonious color patterns over my body.

Our new local hospital took wonderful care and

put me back together with a partial hip replacement.

Lots of helpful meds, physical therapy and stellar nursing are easing my way back to walking and all the little things that we take for granted until they are not

there.

I won't be posting for some time, and

will probably not be able to comment

on your beautiful, inspiring artworks as often as I would like. But, from my  

new comfortable, designated daytime "sitting" chair I can see my

tubes of paint, boxes of colorful pastels and brushes

and books for inspiration.

So, I'm sure, with time I will not be able to resist the pulls and tugs

of the opportunity to make art.

I will sincerely, desperately miss you

and thank you once again for all you have given me: 

ideas, feedback, encouragement and company along this

thrilling road of art discovery.

Take care, my friends.💙
