Painting Not Posting

I have painted, just have not had time to post. Late night playing and relaxation really. Using up paint on the palette. For these two, I was using a large bamboo brush.

This was cleaning the palette too. It looked like a royal mess. But the next day, I liked the mess and I added marks.

Good news from the Pulmonologist! Lungs are sounding better. He also noticed that I was not coughing as much. Great to hear! Going forward with the same treatments.

I ordered new cannulas. The oxygen tubing. I saw two reviews on YouTube by Chanel White. The new ones are Micro cannulas. Thank goodness I found the videos!

It is hard to see a difference in the photo, but the new one is on the left. The nasal prongs on the previous tubing were so long, that I had to trim them. They were wider, and I was always very aware of them.

The new cannula is so comfortable! The actual tubing is smaller, and the nose prongs don’t irritate. They are slimmer as well, and taper at the end. I barely feel like I am wearing it. The earlier cannula made me feel like I was wearing a bridle. Add reading glasses, and it felt like a full face mask.

The slender tubing does not hurt my ears. Before the tubing was resting on the back of my ear. Now it rests right in the crevice where the ear meets the head. MUCH better! Such a blessing to have found these early on. I also ordered a one-sided cannula. I will show you that when it arrives. I am looking forward to trying it.

Well. I am going to do it. I signed up for #The100DayProject. It starts April 3rd. So if any of you are as nuts as I am, check it out. Judy Jacobs mentioned it, with an open invitation. I have thought about it for a week or more, and I have a few theme ideas. So, done. Put it out there. Can’t back out now.

Happy week to you!

Happy Giveaway Day!

It’s time to make some lemonade. I guess this is not really a lemon. A minor disappointment maybe. But I am not crushed.

POSTCARD GIVEAWAY

The postcard I created for this years Postcards from the Edge benefit did not sell. The gallery sent it back to me. And I am going to set it free. Again.

I have not done a giveaway before. I should probably be scientific about it. But I am thinking. K.I.S.S. So leave me a comment.

Tell me why you like Red.
Will you frame it?
Will you gift it to a friend?
Do you have a spot in your home that you know it will be perfect in?

It doesn’t have to be a long comment. I haven’t really decided, should I choose the best comment, or put names in a hat. You can give me you opinion on that too if you want.
(Probably names in a hat.)

Along with the postcard, I will include the pamphlet from the event and the collectors copy with a statement from me. The back of the postcard is stamped and numbered from the event as well.

Red, Benefit pamphlet, Collector’s Copy

You can read more about Red here, and here.

I will make the announcement on Friday.

Happy day to ya’!

Here are your top four favorite postcards. I tallied all the likes, shares and comments. Thanks so much everyone for sharing your thoughts!

Red will be in the outgoing mail tomorrow, bound for The Luhring Augustine Gallery in New York city for the Visual Aids 17th ANNUAL POSTCARDS FROM THE EDGE. All proceeds support the work of Visual AIDS. Visual AIDS utilizes art to fight AIDS by provoking dialogue, supporting HIV+ artists and preserving a legacy – because AIDS IS NOT OVER. Each card in the show will be priced at $85.

This card looks the most “New York” to me. That put it on my list of favorites, but I prefer the second and third choice. The benefit is not until February, but I will let you know as soon as I find out if it has sold. (Both of my earlier cards did sell.) Here it is signed:
