No feathers.....

but i have been painting in the studio.   this one is cold wax and oil on board, 20" x 16".    

Another very cold day here, and once again the pipes in the kitchen froze...poor Terry spent an agonizing couple of hours, as the hairdryer hummed away under the sink, waiting .... water has been restored and he doesn't have to climb under the house, Thank God!

So, I also want to make a note here that i am embarking on what is called The Every other Day Diet, basically it's a modified fasting day, consuming about 600-700 calories, every other day you eat what you like.   There has been a lot of discussion over the past little while about fasting, and the benefits.....i have embarked on this a couple of times before, but you know what they say....try, try and try again!   Once i get past the first week i do just fine.....and I usually manage to knock of about 15-18 lbs....which is what i'm hoping for this time.   We head to  Cuba in 7 weeks.....and i really don't want to have to buy a new bathing suit!!!   I have read of people who adapt to this as a way of living, that is my goal.

The extras are 2 other paintings, done yesterday.
