The Longest Day - Summer Solstice, 2012, acrylic wash monotype and rice paper on canvas, 9 x 9 inches

It was a lovely night for an art auction in Syracuse, New York. The Eastwood Rotary Club hosted their annual CNY Art Showcase last night to raise money for the Everson Museum of Art and I'm happy to report that my two paintings that I created specifically for the auction, were selected for the Auction Preview exhibition at the Everson Museum of Art and then both paintings sold at the auction to a young lady who was more than happy to take them home as a pair! Just seeing her happy face made me very happy...I'm glad my paintings found a good home with someone who admired them, and patiently waited until almost the end of the auction to bid on them.

Me and Fibromyalgia...the good news is, it's not going to kill me.

I was finally diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 2007 after years of being told my illness was all in my head. My Fibro is everyday fatigue with body aches, mostly tolerable, but when I have a flare-up, which can be triggered by stress, hormones, or being over tired from over-doing it, I get the full body pain, including chest pains (yes, these are scary, like an elephant standing on my chest.) Thankfully, it doesn't hurt to take a breath, but I feel breathless, I just do yoga and breathing exercises to stretch and breathe to ease through the worst of it, NSAIDs help to cut the pain, and naps are always a necessary thing when needed (but hard to do while at the day job!) It's a balancing act to manage, I take advantage of the good days, lay low on the bad ones, and very often, push through in spite of the bad days...some mornings I wish I could stay in bed, but I'm glad that I get up and about, very often 'the kinks' work themselves out. I refuse to take the recommended pharmaceutical band-aids on the market, I tried one once, and I don't like feeling like a zombie. I keep active with my creativity, I think that's the key to my overcoming this obstacle every day...and I have my Fred and our son, five cats, and one dog named Max.
