A little R&R . . . whether I wanted it or not!

Just as soon as the New Year turned (actually Jan. 5th), I went to a LaGrange reception for a new art show in which I was participating.  A fellow artist coughed on me while telling me he didn't want to get too close and sure enough, within 2 days I was sick . . . for the major part of two weeks. Trying to move as little as possible, I read four books in four days.

Now I'm somewhat recovered (enough to go back to drawing and painting at least).

This is an old drawing, my subject is at the left since I haven't taken a photo of my newest project . . . my friend Frieda's late husband John holding their first grand child, Maddy.  I can't seem to get the little girl mouth . . . or let's say I get it and then keep fooling with it until it's destroyed.  Here's hoping it's good enough to eventually give it to Frienda.
