Monday, December 12th: A somewhat overcast day in Minnesota, yet, relatively warm, especially for this time o the year. I'm spending most of my time indoors, recuperating from my surgery, last week. I had a total hip replacement done last Tuesday, and am up an about, healing well, and trying to learn how to walk correctly. I'm afraid I developed some pretty bad habits, during the years of pain and discomfort. It's easy to compensate in ones gait, as there are plenty of muscles, just waiting to jump in and be a part of the action. It hurt to stride, so I was down to some pretty cute little steps and had to go pretty quickly to make up for the stride.
As a result of the surgery, I've not been painting that last several weeks. I'm looking forward to getting back into it. Have a lot of subjects that I want to address.
I do have some paintings, many of the new ones, hanging in a brand new gallery in Minneapolis. The venue is called, "Ambiente".Located at 505 1st Ave. NE, it houses both the gallery, and the "Art of Chiroprachty" business. Owned and operated by Dr. Kari Boudreau, the business was formerly located at the corner of 2nd Ave NE and 13th St. Certainly it's worth stopping in to see all the beautiful paintings, but, just to see the space, and how the architect is able to allow for the multi-use is amazing. You won't want to miss it. My friends from Banner Creation were involved in the creation of the space as well. Trust me, you'll see this written up in journals, for years to come.
