after surgery

hi guys, has been awhile since i posted on this blog, just to update you,
on jan. 23 i had a knee replacement and today will be my first day
to step outside. i am so pumped.... as the saying goes, i can see the light at the end of the tunnel. i want to think susan for watching my studio and selling a few paintings for me....and i also want to think my friends who
came by to wish me well and sent me all those e-mails, thank you,
thank you, think you.....most of all i want to think my wife, jackie, without her i could never have got this done. i still have about three weeks of rehab to do.
2012 is going to be a good year and i look forward to painting with all of you.....later
