After many months of stress, moving, and dealing with medical issues, I finally started painting again. This is a gray owl in acrylic paint on canvas, 14" X 14". I'm not sure if it's done or if I will tinker with it more. I did enjoy painting the owl though.
We downsized from a big house to a small cottage in July. I no longer have my art studio, just a small bedroom which is both an office and painting space. It was difficult to move, but necessary. My husband has not been well and is now in a memory care center. He fell many times, damaged his eyes and has had multiple surgeries. He is finally able to see a little bit and use a walker. He was in a wheelchair for many months. Unfortunately the original facility we were in was not adequate for him and I moved him last week to a small group home where he is getting better care.
The emotional stress and my own aging physical issues (mostly Parkinsons tremors) made it difficult to paint. I am hoping to go out again with the plein air group this week and try some small outdoor (or indoor as it may be too cold) paintings at the greenhouse. It is fun to paint with a group of artists and uplifting to my spirit.
Wishing all a better 2025. Happy new year.
