Better today too and very happy about it. I do not dare do much yet because avoiding getting back the worst pain and reducing the inflammation is my no 1 priority this week. I've got good meds now fortunately.

Managed to go to work today even though I had believed I would have had to stay home due to my shoulder. Today has been a much better day and I have even been able to work a bit on my writing projects, although very carefully. My hearts is therefore warm and grateful

Tried not do do something to trigger the pain today but ended up doing a bit work on the computer. I shouldn't have. Tomorrow I will again try to manage to do as little as possible. THAT er very evry difficult.

My arm and shoulder pains are really getting to me - I nearly had to have someone turn the key in the ignition in my car today to be able to come home from the library. I was glad the car windows were shut because the words and sounds coming out of my mouth were best contained. Any good vibes or prayers will be appreciated because it is so hard handling this pain nearly 24/7.

I was much better this morning in my arm so naturally I over did things and tonight I'm very much in pain even after a solid dose of painkillers. SIGH.

Today's painting is one that will be probably be used on the cover of a book - working title this far: Many hearts.

I am happy to tell you about my visit to the doctor today. Two shots, painkiller and cortisone to kill the infection in my upper arm which turned for the worse during the night. Now I only need to follow up with physiotherapy and a visit to an osteopath as well as antiinflammatory meds. I feel more positive now, but I must admit a a couple of negative winterly thoughts today due to the arm and the car which is still not at the garage. Hopefully tomorrow will give me a solution to that challenge.

Feeling sorry for myself tonight. Shoulder more frozen and painful, and tomorrow I will also have to get my car dragged from the shops, where it did not want to start, to the garage. LOL I'll not say anything more so that I will not ruin your day too. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.

Today we had a sports day in a beautiful weather. A bit grey at the start but that was an advantage because it prevented it becoming too warm. Later the clouds broke up. The second photo is from the start of the relay. One team from the tenth graders won of course due to both longer legs but also due to them having quite a few very very good sportsmen and women. My class too have many who do sports so we managed to grab second place. Hurray for 9 B.

Today was pretty tough after staying up too late watching the last exitements of the election, but outside a beutiful sunny day helped make this a very nice day nevertheless. I hope you can feel some of that enjoyment from my ink sketch today.

These days I work and will continue to work hard on my book project: Working title: "On the mountain". I am very happy about the progress this far. Mountains as well as beaches and islands often have some similar characteristics for example the wide view, the bareness and most of all the closeness to the forces of nature. Although harder to breathe due to wind also the place where I really feel I can breathe.

Paintingwise I explore simplistic ways of capturing the feelings I get when walking along beaches or sitting on one.

Lovely weather today so I finally got to mow some the lawn. Very much overdue. More to follow tomorrow. Tonight I have had a great time remembering about my trip along the coast of Northern Norday this summer which resulted in this painting. I hope you like it.

These days we have the winter ahead of us. Way too muc of the summer and now autumn have been wet this year - very wet - here up north in Europe. That misery is the inspiration of today's ink drawing.

Very busy Sunday here. I've been studying for some drawings I plan to do, grading ESL papers, washing clothes, colouring my newly cut hair and working on my book projects.

Hopefully I will be drawing and painting and writing lots the coming week.

Today's painting is inspired by all my walks along beaches this summer

Today I started playing with paste making my painting tactile, partly like a sculpture. I will continue working with this medium tomorrow. The rest of the day I have been working very efficiently on my bookproject Up North, which is coming along nicely.

All my visits to art galleries this summer have given me so much more confidence in daring to believe in my own style and how I choose to interprete my impressions of life and nature. I hope you too like how I see and show you my love for the bare landscape of the North.

Finally I am back to drawing, painting and sketching daily. I am very happy about that. I have also been able to work a bit on my book projects lately and I very much look forward to getting some first drafts ready for part of it.
