Things to do while on 'hip recovery'....

On April 25, I got a new hip!  Only 12 hours in the hospital, and I was back home in bed, and set up for 6-8 weeks of 'recovery'.  

My 'art table' set up
At week 4, I decided I needed to find something additional to occupy my brain.   And so, I decided to set the goal of 30 or so minutes of daily 'art practice' (something i could do while sitting at the table).  


I did take some lessons last year with Stacy, but this past year, our class time conflicted with Lawyer's on Stage.   So... now to return.   I decided to go back and retake some of the the online lessons I did: Scott Swinson,"Watercolour Landscapes for Beginners".  Love those classes!

Simple Seasape Lesson

Today, rather than doing another lesson, I went back through 3 pieces I started a year ago and then abandoned.   My first impulse was to throw them away (yes, i know i am a chicken), but decided i might as well just see if i could go back in and apply some of what i was learning in the lessons, but without having one of those lessons as a 'referent'.   It was fun practicing!   






So, this was week one.   We will see if i can stick at it for another week!
