The Adventure in Healing

Email debobjacob@yahoo.com / debob_54@msn.com
Healing and Time : 
Recovery is going slow, I think I should be back at full strength but at the end of the day when I have to take a couple of pain/muscle pills, I realize that when they said three months before being released by the doc  is true.  .Finally, put that fever behind me for now.. Started walking in the mornings, still can not bend at the waist.They increased the weight to lift from 5 pounds to 15, thank goodness that a paint brush only weighs ounces.
The title of this plein air is Dancing Tree, which I hope to be doing soon. (dancing and painting plein air)

Adventure in Healing thru Art

Email debobjacob@yahoo.com  debob_54@msn.com
In the last five days, I have painted 10 hours not great but great for a person which under went back surgery twelve days ago...Finishing up one painting, started sketch on a 30X32 Landscape. Been running a low grade fever. Went to Local MD got a shot in right hip Monday and today (Tues) another.  Thursday I see the P.A. and will find out what type of rehab. she has planned...also about fever. 
But those few hour I painted made all the pain leave and the world was normal..Trying to finish up few paintings for up coming Shows /Competitions. Deadlines help push the mind in to a different area of the brain, right side, to visualize the work and all the stages.
Life will just get better and better from here on out....
I will be posting painting soon.

Adventure in Back Surgery

Email debobjacob@yahoo.com   debob_54@msn.com
Yesterday was a big adventure..back surgery that I have been putting off for approx. five to seven years...Time passes fast and the doctors nowadays are so up to date on complex issues , mine was a day surgery...sent me home all druged up...today is a different story.. sore and on a few  (LOL) drugs...Cleaned out my L2-3,4-5. No back brace, thank God for a good doc....  Also picked up a bad allergy, running nose, eye, etc.,   Hope this passes quicker than the rehab.. Today is harder than yesterday. Hope my days get a little better...After four weeks I can drive. I've moved in a partial studio, so can keep on doing thumb nail sketches and a few color studies....Reading Dunn, will be enjoying Lougheed  and studying Gerhartz....Art is a great place for your mind to go....(love the right side  of the brain)  I'll be in/out of website for a couple of weeks. Thanks to all for prayers.

June 2010 comes to an end.   I look back on a wonderful HOT days of painting in triple digits this month. Starting the last week of May the, ECAA paint out started, 56 artists started off atheistic and looking for the perfect. painting spot (in the shade). The first day which included the Quick-draw, started at 8 thru 5.  Eight days each artist completed from 4-16 paintings.
