Good morning all š
Iāve been unintentionally negligent putting out a new post for more days than I wanted. No terrible bad reason beyond simple lack of time and a list of pressing priorities, thank goodness.
Summary
The last few weeks wife & I have had a bit more dr appts than usual, but this week that converged with a strong slate of visits to Goldās Gym for both of us, an additional check up dr visit for the 7 year old (parents at work), a soft opening (Thur) of a new mercantile gift shop by our younger daughter followed by the official grand opening yesterday (Sat) – both with the 7 year old happily in tow ā¤ļø
Art
There were a few days no painting or photography were done at all. The other days all I could do was piddle, meaning, sketch out some ideas on some newly watercolor ground applied 6x6s, or flush out floral and/or butterfly outlines with masking fluid on same, and even re-coat one 6×6 I wisely gave up trying to āfixā lol!
I did however manage to upload a new macro floral photo image to Fine Art America š
Fitness
While my wife has consistently maintained going to SilverSneakers classes, Iāve been more and more utilizing the gymās strength machines and indoor walking track, logging in over 10K steps several days this past week!
My strength work, which Iām getting into more enthusiastically lately, includes strengthening my legs and upper body, particularly for posture with the latter.
My fitness tracker shows quite an increase in my moderate to vigorous intensity minutes for the week – definitely pushing me to take advantage of wanting to get to sleep sooner and more often, lol š
Sleep
And this, sleep, I believe, is where I lost any chance of creating blog posts this week (beyond a fun reblog of Kirt Tisdaleās digital work). Itās no secret we need sleep to exist. Whatās happening to me lately is Iām looking forward more now to what seems to be a more quality sleep. Waking up more refreshed. Eager to do art, work out, do blog posts, have fun!
All part of ātryingā to live aging gracefully ā¤ļø
With less dr visits planned this coming week, Iām hoping to use that extra time to paint again (beyond prep work) – and – post regularly again! And I did, as mentioned above, upload my first new image to Fine Art America last night in almost three weeks, and hope to have a ānew FAA uploadsā post up featuring my three latest but not yet blogged uploads there ā

Meanwhile, before I go to Central Market then return to breakfast, hereās a peek at some of my recent 6×6 watercolor work. All pieces are available at this time š
