Can You Believe I'm Still Here?

Hey Old Friends,
It has been just about a year since last posted! For those of you who wrote and called, thank you so much for keeping up with me. For those friends who thought I dropped off the face of the earth... I did..sort of. I'm just now climbing up out of the hell hole known to me as Valley Fever; hospitalized for two months and recovering 1 year ever since. It wasn't pretty and there are missing brain cells so if I owe anyone anything, commission, etc. Please do call or write. It's entirely possible I've overlooked work for you.
This is the first work I've painted since 2009 and it's a do-over at that. I'm back working in the studio now. Thanks for all your encouragements, everyone. jb

Those Hills

I am working on a series of hills and fields, trying to edit as much as possible and loosen up. These particular ones I try to capture in every kind of weather in every possible light. Just a calm exersize in stressful times...a parent in end-stage Alhizimer's, sometines all I can do is to paint those hills. Forgive me if ten versions pop up. jb
