His back has stopped hurting

 This is the first day the Professor’s back has not hurt him. Everyday has been painful. Last night he relaxed reading the end of the second *Girl with” series  and watched more of “Mad Men” laying on a heating pad and he got up with little pain. He also did not work in the studio. He stopped doing pain pills which dulled the pain and allowed him to over-work, as if he needed to make some more. He does of course, each day the images/ideas begin. Here are some studio views from the last weeks and some finished paintings. They are changing. His summer recess is almost over and school begins in two weeks. Houston’s temperature in his car on the freeway read 104 .  He thinks he should rant about something, but it doesn’t matter. It is very good to do what he does and to receive confirmation from someone close. He wishes there were others. He paints nothing for sale, but everything he makes is for sale.

  1. Done good/great, Professor.
    You have kept working despite all odds....I have strayed: no painting at all and too much Krav Maga :) I do not know if I´m getting as proficient as painting Mexican mountains but I have felt the need of tons of adrenaline to survive the nasty impositions of circumstances :)

  2. Thanks for sharing these time travel excursions. Sometimes I don't want to look too closely at my past and that is when I destroy things. Every day and every hour another image comes from some place within me. Time is of the essence - to draw, to paint, to sculpt.
