The Glamourous Life - ligament, tendons, patella, femurs...anatomy...!!!

Purple 10"x8" Original Acrylic on Canvas $360.


Whoa is me. Are you tired of the damaged leg story yet? I am.

It is a close encounter with my idea of time. Dragging my leg along, rather than the customary following of them, as a pair, is a bit of an impediment to rapid movement, stairs, distances.

Reading books. I can do this.
Isabel Allende- Inez of My Soul, Island beneath the Sea.
Michael Gruber- The Forgery of Venus -very painterly... I recommend it.
Thomas King The Truth about Stories.


Hafiz, Seneca, Epictetus... Stoics and Sufis.

The Glamourous Life... it is, actually.

August 6 ... the still life
August 13 ... the sea scape!

The last class on florals was great. A good Friday night painting session with the ladies! Nothing like a group of women laughing about the frailties of the body as they create to get the balance and perspective in place. Not just on the painting!

I have graduated from the contraption to a 'knee immobilizer' -a beige leg corset with velcro instead of strings. Sexy!
So I will be the one haplessly kicking over chairs and dragging tables behind her over this week!

I will be the one hobbling...
I crashed my right knee into the corner and tore a few of the very important ligaments off of it... I have a splishy quad muscle collection that makes the knee unbendable.
Always something hein?

I can walk with the aid of a scarf contraption tied around the foot crossed over to the (k)neck and a pulley(my arm basically) to make the leg move forward. it is two scarves actually, (I got them for free with a purchase over $25 at Cotton Ginny years ago. Well I was there with my sister and she didn't want hers so she said I could have it and the clerk had to check with the manager if that was ok and everything so we told her that my sister would take it and then give it to me.. or not! outside of the store if that would make things less complicated. One is mauve and the other a sherbet orange color.
Now you know.)
