ANIMALS FOR OPUS GLUEI, AND TAKING A BREAK

- Jez
This reluctant lady was created some time ago, the cow collaged on to the pre-painted acrylic background and altered.  She is my entry for the current 'Animals' theme at Opus Gluei.

TAKING A BREAK

I've taken the easy route of using a past piece because I have decided that for the moment I feel it is necessary to take an enforced break, and my energy levels are close to nil.

- Jez
My current health problems are not resolved yet, and there are more blood tests and X-rays to come this week.  Added to that, Dev is undergoing lots of tests for what looks as though it could also be something rather serious.

So I am hoping to come back to Blogging as soon as I can but until then I shall try to visit and comment when (a) I am awake and (b) things are a little better.

Until then, I want you to know how much blogging, visiting, commenting and most of all your lovely comments have meant to me and have kept me going through some difficult times.  I'll be thinking of you.  
             - Jez

  15. Oh, Jez, I am sorry to hear about your health and Dev's as well. I takes so much energy to help a spouse, friend or family member who is ill even when you have your full strength. Although I'm sad I won't see your inspiring posts and comments for a while, you've made a good decision to take care of yourselve(s). Hugs and best to you, sweet one.

  19. Love your cow and the text you wrote on it :-) So sorry to hear you're still not feeling well, and that Dev is having problems again as well. Hope you can get some rest and that you'll soon get some results on what's wrong, so they can start treating it. Hang in there! Hugs ♥

  20. I enjoy your style, this is no exception. It made me smile with its good humor and the effect of the collage. I hope your break helps you, I don't have health issues but have felt little energy for things. Please get better soon, we will miss you very much in the interim. (and Opus Gluei will miss you too)
