Mingus number forty. This was difficult to scan, and the light blue in the sky is not true to life. Tempted to go back in and add a wash. If I do I will share it with you.
A sign of Spring, this yucca is getting ready to bloom.
Spring in the valley.

I have painted, just have not had time to post. Late night playing and relaxation really. Using up paint on the palette. For these two, I was using a large bamboo brush.

This was cleaning the palette too. It looked like a royal mess. But the next day, I liked the mess and I added marks.

Good news from the Pulmonologist! Lungs are sounding better. He also noticed that I was not coughing as much. Great to hear! Going forward with the same treatments.
I ordered new cannulas. The oxygen tubing. I saw two reviews on YouTube by Chanel White. The new ones are Micro cannulas. Thank goodness I found the videos!
It is hard to see a difference in the photo, but the new one is on the left. The nasal prongs on the previous tubing were so long, that I had to trim them. They were wider, and I was always very aware of them.
The new cannula is so comfortable! The actual tubing is smaller, and the nose prongs don’t irritate. They are slimmer as well, and taper at the end. I barely feel like I am wearing it. The earlier cannula made me feel like I was wearing a bridle. Add reading glasses, and it felt like a full face mask.
The slender tubing does not hurt my ears. Before the tubing was resting on the back of my ear. Now it rests right in the crevice where the ear meets the head. MUCH better! Such a blessing to have found these early on. I also ordered a one-sided cannula. I will show you that when it arrives. I am looking forward to trying it.
Well. I am going to do it. I signed up for #The100DayProject. It starts April 3rd. So if any of you are as nuts as I am, check it out. Judy Jacobs mentioned it, with an open invitation. I have thought about it for a week or more, and I have a few theme ideas. So, done. Put it out there. Can’t back out now.
Happy week to you!

I am hoping tomorrow I can start on an 8 x 8 piece. For now, just a sketch. I started it last night, and finished this afternoon. And here it is five minutes to ten, and I am just now able to post.
Cold and dreary here. Maybe that influenced some of my color choices. I was hoping to get caught in the rain while I was running errands, but no luck. We do have rain on the way this weekend.
Hope your weather is what you hope, and that you are safe and warm!
