Our anniversary is coming up this week. Traditionally we go to museums for our anniversary date….its what we did on our first date. We went to the National Gallery of Art. My favorite was the Jackson Pollock. We had a fun day of seeing lots of art and spending time together.
Today I drove down to Fredericksburg Virginia to visit my friend Bob. He showed me how to do gel transfers. We spent the day working on art and learning techniques. I’ll be doing some art at home to show him. I plan to visit him again in February to learn some more and to show him my work.
I walked a total of 1.66 miles today.
On Saturday I set up my art area in the office. I have storage bins for all the things I need. I have a big table on wheels for the area to actually do art. Today I spent the majority of the day creating art. I’m selling 4 pieces of eBay. I haven’t done that since the crash of 2008. No one bought artwork back then. Anyway, instead of walking today, I did art. However, I did go a total of 3.20 miles just moving around today. So even though I’m not carving out a specific time to exercise, I am walking around pretty far in just my daily movements.
If you listened to my podcast yesterday, you heard that I purchased my first piece of art. I’m an art collector now. Here is the artwork that I purchased. I will be hanging it in my bedroom above my bed. I think it will be a good place for this work. Also, here’s a picture of the artist. He’s German.
