Recovering from elbow surgery. They really downplay how much work that actually entails, ha!
Surgery was a success, tho this past year has worn on my arms quite a bit. I imagine a good portion of 2016 will be spent trying to fix them. 4 more weeks in a brace, a few months more of physical therapy....
Still doing shows every month (3 this month!) so that's always fun.
Moral of the Story: Take caution with your art... there is such a thing as painting, drawing and writing too much!! :') Take it easy. Meditate.
Thanks for support!

Surgery tomorrrrrrooowww~~
Yes yes,
Elbow surgery tomorrow.
Life is a mess.
But my spirit is well.
I should be able to make art again next year! ;)
I actually can paint, but general pain has made me apathetic towards doing anything this past few months. I am finishing a large request tonight as my last piece before surgery ....it gives me hope! So long as the surgery and recovery goes well, I think I'm already good to hold paintbrushes again. :)
What might take longer is getting adjusted to typing ..... sucks right now.....
Regardless, happy new year! Happy holidays! Much love....

so....Elbow Surgery!
... it's been a full year of physical therapy, occupational therapy, chiropractics and acupuncture and shots and stretches, meditation, both gua sha & Graston bruising techniques, baoding balls, oranges, multiple miscellaneous arm, wrist, elbow, and thumb braces, over 15 different medical professionals, much napping, many walks, much pain, many friends .....
I'm officially booked for elbow surgery in the next month or so to get rid of all the damage! Which means more of all of the above but hopefully within a designated and effective time-frame!
Typing is still a bit of a nightmare ... just know, I appreciate a a lot of the kind words
Explanation
Hey hey, virtual friends and followers who remain!
I can't really type all that much anymore. It's been about 7 months of difficulty with my right thumb, arm, wrist .... now shoulders .... painting doesn't seem to be in my future, but it's been long enough now that I've come to terms with that. It's painful to type...write...draw...click...paint....moooooooooooooove...... I'm discovering new ways to be creative, though.
This might be my last update for awhile. I do have left hand pastels to share soon, but my lengthy descriptions might be a little limited.
soooooooooooooooooooooooooo many comments....
I want to respond but I physically c
