There are still daily tasks and responsibilities to be done, but with the absence of cooking, serving, cleaning, laundry and shopping, I have many more hours free that I can devote to my artwork.
I've begun with three 5"x 7" small paintings that were commissioned prior to my leaving Florida. Here's one of them..
