So pleased that a yoga friend decided to try out Line Dancing today! I tell people all the time about how great Line Dancing is. We had a big class today with two new students that did great. Both of them had Line Danced before so they picked up on the steps and did well. Both of them will be back!
Exercise doesn’t have to be a dull experience. Dancing is a great way to keep fit Now, if someone would just open another Skating Rink I would be completely happy! So sorry the terrific one we had closed. I don’t have time to go to Roanoke so I hung up my skates.
Oh well, dancing and yoga keep me going!

Clyde and I have been having a hard time with itching. He thinks it is because of the long winter. He is using cocoanut butter and I am using some salve that I like. I don’t like smelling like an Almond Joy bar. Anyway, I have so much itching on my abdomen that I am wondering if the material used in yoga pants may be the problem.
I just looked up namaste and there are a lot of different meanings. I thought it was like saying peace to someone. Actually most sources say someone is bowing to the spiritual in the person they are saying namaste to.
Clyde said if that is true then he doesn’t think those pants have namaste threads. There is nothing peaceful or respectful in pants that make you scratch.
Maybe I should find some other pants.
I would greatly appreciate a Google review if you like my work! Here is the link!
I am pleased with my progress on an old still life that I am putting the life back into. I am not sure whether or not I will include a progress file on my website. The photo I took didn’t turn out that well and now I have gone on to another layer. Oh well, I need to be more careful. Anyway, it has been a great experience to work on an old painting that was not finished long ago. It will be soon!

We are waiting for the snow to fall and I am trying to get a lot of work done. I keep saying I will put on my boots and walk in it like I did when I was young. In so many ways I never grew up and I like it that way. I have been a responsible adult but I still love all the things I loved when I was a kid. I keep getting under the pile so I don’t do all those things but I will get out there this time! I have always said if we have to have winter then we need some snow. It is beautiful!

Well, we finally got Clyde’s phone set up. We waited so long tracfone sent us a message asking us to reconnect and get bonus minutes. His phone is just like mine but because of the identification system on his email we had problems getting through the instructions. Anyway, Clyde has some choice comments to make about it.
I left the room and heard a very loud yell. It had slipped out of his pocket and took a nasty fall. Fortunately, it was not damaged. Yesterday we were watching a movie that had a cell phone noise go off during a scene.
Clyde said the sound of a cell phone makes him want to put up his dukes and fight. He really hates cell phones but like I said in another blog, those birds on Rocky Knob are not going to call me. He must have a phone, like it or not.

Well, I made it to Yoga and Line Dance and now I am back in the new “Smoking” position in front of the computer. I don’t smoke but I have heard that sitting is the new smoking. That is kind of a weird phrase. I don’t think sitting here will give me cancer but it sure isn’t good for my muscles. I do think the radiation is a problem if people are right up against the screen.
I have read that everyone should be 19″ away from the screen and I am about two feet. I am definitely a low risk person. The only way I would jump out of a plane is if someone pushed me to save my life. I stay away from planes as much as possible.
Tomorrow I will put the finishing touches on my current commission. I think it turned out well and the patron is very happy!

Clyde and I are still catching up on the great show Married with Children and I am still accusing him of writing it and putting the money in a Swiss bank account.
Now he says it was lost in the ship wreck.
Ship wreck? Why aren’t you just using the internet.
You know how I hate the internet. I put it in big bags and the fish got it in the wreck.
Fish don’t eat money.
Yeah? Then why did that sharp bite my butt while the others swam through the money. You should have seen that octopus play with the coins. You would have thought you were in Las Vegas.
Wow. What a fish story.
Oh well. All I know is that show at times practically asphyxiates me just like Clyde does. He may not have written it but he certainly has the same sense of humor.

I don’t usually write a to do list. I try to keep it all in my head but yesterday I did write one. If I have an appointment I have to hang a note from the entrance to the kitchen so I see if every time I go in there which is quite often. If I don’t do that I will miss appointments.
I sent a file of my latest commission to the patron and he said he loved it! Commissions are tricky but I have had great success with them. I still have to work on the lettering and some fine tuning. Check it out below!
Anyway, I have quite a Monday list so I had better get to everything. Cheers on a grueling Monday!

I stay out of conversations on politics, especially these days. The country is so divided on how well the present administration is handling things that I would rather not get into an argument. I am not giving my opinion on Trump here but I did see a very funny comment on Facebook about the wall. I don’t mean to offend anyone.
The comment was that most immigrants enter the country on airplanes. Don’t tell Trump. He will want to build a roof.
I mentioned that to Clyde and he said he didn’t believe the immigrants were hitching rides on airplanes. They would have to have the money for it. Anyway, I thought it was a fun joke!

Thursdays are difficult. Yoga in the morning and Dance Class in the afternoon. I don’t really like Yoga but it sure likes me. I do like Line Dancing and will be real glad when the new class starts in Radford so I don’t have to travel to Blacksburg. I need to get the next file of my latest commission to the patron soon. He was hoping I could finish the painting before Christmas, but that is unlikely due to the drying time of each layer. Anyway, time to get this published and get to class.
Cheers!

I am still having trouble with an itchy back. It doesn’t matter how warm or cold the weather is there is one spot that itches all the time. The dermatologist said the skin was dry there and that might be the problem. Well, lotion doesn’t help.
I asked Clyde why does this one spot itch all the time? He said it is because you can’t reach it and your back is laughing at you. But I have a back scratcher and I rake it every night. Yes, but you can’t carry that around with you all the time so your back has the last laugh.
Argh!

I was beginning to think Garfield is right about Mondays in spite of the fact that we workaholics don’t see any difference in the days, when I saw a great announcement from the company that handles most of my print options!
For the first time Fine Art America is offering a 25% discount on wall art TODAY ONLY!!! Since I mostly sell original paintings and wall art prints I wanted to be sure to mention this!
Monday is looking better even though I got blue and red oil paint in my rug and on my face an hour ago.
This applies to my work on Fine Art America and my separate Pixels site.
I am so pleased that my favorite abstract painting, Gentle Fall, has a great Virginia home! There is a rather mystical look to the impasto surface of this work hence the title. I prefer to work from representational subject matter but I also like paintings that are like music without words and am proud of my efforts.
I have included another favorite below Gentle Fall. As always, wall art prints and prints on just about anything including clothes are available. Be sure to click on the link under each painting to see all the possibilities to the right!

Many times I have mentioned how I try to eat organic food as much as possible. A lot of people think some of our health problems may be coming from pesticides and I think we are better off without pesticides whenever possible. Anyway, Clyde thinks some of the people selling organic food may be taking it a little too far. I don’t agree but he thinks it won’t be long before pet owners can buy organic chew toys for puppies. Okay, that might be a little over board.

Yesterday evening I told Clyde I wanted to tell him about the nightmare I woke up with.
Well, I was there, wasn’t I?
No, you are not the nightmare I woke up with. This was after you left for work.
Oh.
We decided to get a separation and some dude found me an apartment to live in but he assumed I wanted him to live there, too! I sent him packing and then I woke up.
Wishful thinking?
No, I said it was a nightmare you boob!

The Christmas rush is upon us. As I said a while back Clyde said he had just taken off his Halloween mask when he saw Santa hiding in the bushes.
Well, I think that was either a strange siting or Clyde is getting ditzier than I am. Anyway, here is another Santa cartoon with an explanation of how he gets around so fast!
Maybe he was hiding in the bushes!
