Pinched nerve and new feature
I have not painted all week because of pain in my shoulder and arm...I am treating it as a pinched nerve, but I suppose that I should let my doctor decide what the cause is:-) I went to work all week and grimaced my way through meetingsa... Nevertheless, I have chosen a few of my next watercolor projetcts.
As a study for a potential larger painting, I want to paint the Venetian windows and shutters from a picture I took last April. The scene will provide me with the opportunity to work with interesting cast shadows again; the plants hanging from the windowsill will be a challenge for me since I usually stay away from foliage of all kinds:-)
On another note, I was quite pleased to see that my "Laundry Day in Venice" continues to attract attention on the Red Bubble site. It was featured yesterday in The Featured Features Group- only the artworks already selected as a feature in another group can qualify for entry or feature selection in this group. The moderator stated:"Many of these images evoked strong emotional responses in me. All very special in their own way." I dont' think that my ":Laundry Day..." would be one of the artworks evoking a strong emotional response"...
I wish you all a great Sunday!

Congratulations Christiane on your "Laundry Day in Venice" being featured on the "Red Bubble" site. It is deserving for sure! I hope you are over your pain now too and can paint again. Will look forward to seeing your new one of the window with the shadows. Great subject!

Sorry to hear your shoulder has been bothering you, hope it clears up soon. But very happy to hear about your Venice piece. I think you'll do fine with this photo.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your kind words. I am now on anti-inflammatory medication for my shoulder and my doctor does not seem very worried. Hopefully, I will be painting by the weekend.

Missing you, Christiane! Hope you return soon and your shoulder is healed.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a while now without a post. I do hope you are doing well and just are busy this time of year. Take care, heal and be well always!
ReplyDeletePinched nerves are a real pain in the neck...or shoulder. Hope you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteYour Laundry painting is wonderful. Beautiful, soft colors and great use of light.
Christiane, I missing your wonderful paintings and your cheerful posts. Do hope you are on the mend.
ReplyDeleteRhonda,
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for your concern for my health. I am doing well now, but after the pinched nerve, I got a bad flue( not H1N1 though) and then since, I have been having computer problems. I am in the process of trying to salvage as many files as possible from my current computer before it completely dies on me:-)
I will be back posting and painting very soon.
Christiane
Mary,
ReplyDeleteAnd I have missed looking at the beautiful works of my blogging friends. I am on the mend, but now trying to mend my computer:-) I am so happy that you have not forgotten about me.
Thank you,
Christiane
Peggi,
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for your nice comment on my "Laundry Day in Venice". Venice, with its wonderful light, is such a wonderful subject!

Christiane

ReplyDeleteThank you very much Cindi for your nice message. My son is coming home from University tonight and I am hoping that he can bring my computer back to life. I am taking the week between Xmas and New Year's as time off from my work. I certainly hope to post some new work at that time.
