Milan, Illinois, USA
The second day of vacation from Lowe's. My good intention--to use this time to paint--has been stalled. My left shoulder blade-shoulder-arm, seized with some new pain (arthritis or rheumatism?) limits how much I can do. Jim cleaned out a room in the basement next to my bedroom for me to use as a studio; a good space, good light, uncluttered, I need to move an easel in there, my drawing table, other things, and become familiar again with the efforts to make paintings.
Not easy, Jim home this weekend, both days, Saturday and Sunday, I'm finding it easier to have my "off time" alone. I've asked Lowe's to schedule me to work all weekends and I suspect they will. He doesn't instigate discord, but, being with him for long periods of time, undiluted, I feel edgey, just nervous. The problem is within me--or mostly so.
Very welcomed rain, off and on, all day today, often very dramatic, comfortable. A self-portrait of me today on the back deck...
