I have got the paint out! For the last seven months with the cancer and chemotherapy everyday was a little worse than the day before. Now I have reversed directions and little by little, every day is a tiny bit better! I want it better fasterbut the neuropathy in my hands is a little worse than I am able to explain! Everthing I touch is like picking up razor blades! I have decided to ignore it.

Glad to see you in wet paint again!! The second shot is simply beautiful. May your pain become an afterthought as your mind takes you back to your art!!!

Oh man... so happy you're creating again. Thanks for keeping us posted. You're a brave man... A brave artist! --Love and Light, Moi

Oh jerry, you are brave and strong, and I hope the neuropahty will subside in time as it has for my sister after ten years. This is my pic of the day.

Artist Reply: Emily, thank you so much, and for the encouragement also, and the POD! They are all "baby steps" but I am getting better every day.

Oh, Jerry, I am so glad that you felt up to painting! i love the colors and shapes in your painting~ If it brings you joy... go for it. But as a former nurse I must tell you that it will take a while for your immune system to recover. Baby it!
