"Take the High Road Home"
8 x10 inches
This was created completely from memory. I made it up as I went along.
I loved the snow when I was young, but now I'm quite content to live in the mild winters of Florida!
I've been working on this little painting since last month. I have to rest my right hand, but my left hand just doesn't do as good of a job. I started this painting with my left hand. I actually created a great deal of it with my off-hand. But not the details. My left-hand cramps and is not used to the motion of the strokes, so it is slow and cumbersome.
My dominant hand, my right hand, has been in a brace for 5 months. The wrist is still tender and swollen. The pain runs up to my fingers and down to my elbow. The tendon from my thumb to my wrist had a couple of small tears, and my wrist and hand had five cists. I went through two rounds of steroids (pills) and one round of antibiotics.
The doctor wanted me to come in for steroid shots in my wrist, but I chickened out and did not go back.
Overall, I am better: I can do more with less pain, but things take longer. I am careful not to stress it. I also wear my brace (which immobilizes my thumb) if I am doing anything that requires lifting or pulling. When I forget, it sure lets me know!
I have several small paintings in progress, but I am not pushing myself to get them done.
Enjoy!
