Ying Yangs

Hi all,
This week I have not been doing too much of anything art/computer wise, as I have not being feeling too well and I have got me mum coming for a long weekend, so my limited energy has been taken up with getting my home in order,bathing and giving a haircut to my dogs,washing and ironing and a bit of painting too...ya know all those things you leave till the last minute, but feel you need to get done because Mum is coming to stay...lol....but it is all done now, so I am content.
The reason for feeling unwell is that the new tablets I got from the doc, just did not agree with me, I ended up with really bad headaches,nausea,tummy ache so I have stopped taking them and have to go back next week to try and sort this out. I have cut out my curries...god I have missed them lol...all the things I was advised to give a miss, but my appetite has gone down quite a bit, however I can live with that as a bit of weight loss is ok. Keep you posted on that one.
I found time to do a few small mandala type drawings, seen on the left, just a bit of fun done in CPs and Ink.

Patterns,Lines,Doodles


Hi all,
No animal art to show today, instead something of an Abstract piece done in my sketch book. I have got to say doing work like this is a real passion for me and a creative release, I just love the idea of combining patterns, shapes, doodles, and curves to create funky abstract art. I use mostly black pigment pen and to add colour it will be CPs, Ink or Coloured gel pens, perhaps even watercolour. It is all still a bit experimental, but like the mandalas there is not too much pre planning that comes into it I just do what feels right. My plan is too fill my sketch book up with this type of art, as I think it will be fascinating to look back over it all in time, and who knows when I kick the bucket someone might find it interesting.
On a completely different track, I have for sometime now, been having some problems with my digestive system and have for the past few weeks had to make some changes to my meds,which in turn has played havoc with my arthritis. I went to the doctors yesterday for another review and am now having another change in meds, and worse still a change in diet. Now I am a gal who loves her food, and although I am not too overweight,(size16)I do tend to be a bit of a muncher as well, but I have got to calm that down and to my horror stop eating Curries ! In fact not just curry,tomato's,mayonnaise,acidic fruit,vinegar,chinese,garlic....anything spicy and acidic etc...instead it has to be plain old boring food. My appetite has dropped off since this started, I reckon it will end being nil having to stick to this diet, but thank god it is only for a month! On a more serious note, I want it sorted,because it does cause me some pain and is uncomfortable and if there is no improvement then it will be the tube down the throat.......oh joy !
