Dear Art Lover,
Today I
would like to share some images from my Facebook post yesterday that had a much
higher than usual response rate (positive).
I know that I have let this blog slip a bit, but I have been trying to
get my art-making schedule back, as well as going through rehab for my injured
knee. On that latter front, I was
relieved to have two specialists in January overturn the verdict for ACL
reconstruction surgery that I received from another specialist on 2 Dec. So, I was given electro-magnetic therapy (for
bones) and electro-stimulation therapy (for atrophied quads), as well as a slew
of exercises and instructions on how to retrain my brain to walk without
limping.
Another
good thing is that I have returned to the mural painting and I hope to keep at
it until I can finish it. It turned out
to be way more complicated than I imagined when I started it. But only because it is not just any
landscape. It is a specific one.
I also
got the green light from my therapist to travel and have booked my flights to
the US. I will mostly be working in
Texas, but will be traveling around a bit for family and galleries in April and
May. Drop me a line if you would like to
try to meet up, please.
So, here
are the images of my walk yesterday. A
couple of friends saw me on the road and stopped for a hello. Then Gianni invited me to tag along with them
while they went into the small town to buy some fresh sausage from a kill made
on Sunday. I know that my vegetarian
friends are cringing at that thought, but hey, at least the Italians here are
raising only a few animals in lovely spaces and they use practically everything
of the animal. I was pretty impressed
that the little scruffy dog, Gregory, was so well behaved around all of this
raw meat. Not all of it was packed under
salt. He was good even in the van with
the meat in a bag underneath his little paws!
He seemed more interested in barking at the windshield wipers when they
were in motion than in sniffing out pig.
Enjoy…
