I won't be painting much in the near future because both of my wrists are messed up. It hurt to do the few brushstrokes needed for this little piece. I have braces to wear to stabilize my joints but I can't use a paintbrush very well with them on. At the moment I'm waiting for a referral to a hand surgeon, then I'll wait for an appointment, then I'll wait for x-rays and test results, then I'll wait for a surgical date. If I'm lucky I will be able to have one hand or the other fixed so that I can open paint tubes and apply paint to paper again. I actually miss doing housework and washing dishes but mostly I miss being able to paint!
