Illness

My husband has come down with Bacterial Pneumonia, and yesterday was a trip to the emergency room. He's on the mend, but I feel so bad for him. It was quite scary to read his 104.1 temperature...neither of us has had a dire health problem yet. So the next two quick art draws are about the situation. That, and I'm getting more practice with the Uni-Ball pen that I love.

These works are now part of the Draw365 program, where artists all over the world use Twiiter or other Internet forums to post a drawing every day. Some turn out really good, others are for practice and new techniques. I will occassionally post some of the Draw365 results here.

This painting is my first serious attempt at acrylic medium in about 20 years. More practice is needed, but I will post the result:
