Home Again

Home AgainThere’s no place like home.  Whether it’s Kansas or elsewhere, I’m with Dorothy on that!  I arrived home in Florida Saturday evening after spending two weeks with my friend/art teacher in Austin, TX.  I was happy to visit her showing at the Laguna Gloria Gallery and see several of her large pieces which were new to me.  She paints clouds and phenomena of nature like tornadoes, waterspouts, etc.

But, alas, her health is not good.  It is devastating to see someone who was in vibrant health two years ago, and having so many problems now.  I mentioned earlier that she has this awful disease called Progressive Supernuclear Palsy (PSP).

I did come home with some new resolves, though.  I am going to try to do one landscape painting each day – to become a daily painter.  It will be a small one – 12″ x 12″ at first, as those canvasses are all that I have on hand.  We’ll see what happens after that and if I can keep up.  And now that I have made this announcement to the world, I have a lot of work to do.
