Day 13
Another busy day here :) The new steroids do seem to be working and I can actually move without pain today. The Aqua Therapy was a real workout but one that I can tell is going to help me a lot more than the other ones were. Since I'm not feeling the pain today I have to keep telling myself to be careful ...it's not over yet.
I really hate taking steroids.... but sometimes you just reach the point where you're willing to try almost anything to be done with it.
Today's art is more Inspirational Quote Cards. I never got around to working on the big painting ..at least not yet :)
My scanner is on the fritz today so all I have are cell phone photos....
The first is another Wild Haired Beauty...the background is a textured acrylic glaze, the hair is ink and I used Prisma Colored Pencils to do her face.
The second is a rendering of what Frida may have looked like when she was younger..at least in my minds eyes. More colored pencils with a very light acrylic textured glazed background.
The last one was done on the same glaze texture using markers and ink pens.

Hi Carol. Love your Frida's and your random flowers. Glad you are feeling better. I live with pain daily and have had shots in my knees but I'd rather feel the pain that the pain of those needles going into my knees. Yikes! Nice work.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear that the back is improving! I am sure that the steroids are working their magic but the aqua therapy is a good deal! I love values and integrity! I am still loving that woman from your last post!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work,, Love that you are still painting Frida too. Great bargains with those journals, wow! Keep up the therapy, glad it is doing you good. Hugs, Valerie

Love your two portraits, Carol, especially the first one with the fantastic hair-style. I like the flower too, just my kind of painting.
