Before the Fall

So, this time I actually have a really good reason for being away for so long.

I admit I am calling out the sympathy card a bit here, but mostly I just wanted to check in to let you all know I  have been lurking but not typing much. I recently fell about 4 ft off a hill in our back yard onto our paved driveway, head first, and fractured my left elbow (I’m left handed) and sprained my right wrist. I haven’t been able to paint for awhile so the piece above is from "before the fall."

After a spell of not being able to use my arms, at least I can type now so I’m getting back in to the swing of things (so to speak). I hope y'all are doing well.

Happy Painting; I'll be joining you soon!

Cheers,
Sandy

  3. And here I thought you were basking in the sun in the Bahamas!!! Sandy, I am so sorry to hear about your fall. I'll be praying for a fast recovery! My granddaughter fell last year from the monkey bars at school and broke both her hands so I know how you feel....I love this painting that you did before the fall.!!
