Bad day....


Well, my day started out pretty great. We ran some errands that morning, then attended an art show with some very famous artist work (very cool). After that is when things took a bit of a bad turn. On the way back, we were involved in a car accident. We're all ok. In Florida, they have these little u-turn sections in the middle of US-41. Most people use them because Tamiami Trail can be 6 or 8 lanes across. Well, a lady, (trying to get to the mall!!!!!) decided to try to cut all the way across. She made it across the northbound traffic (we were heading south). We saw her and she looked like she was going to stop in the median section. Before she came to a complete stop, she decided she would gun across all four lanes and slammed right into the drivers side of our car. She said she didn't even see us. We think she was looking behind us trying to beat that traffic. The rest of the day was spent a the hospital and happily we're back home tonite. We didn't have the dog with us thankfully. Right now I've got a big knot on my arm and lots of advil in my body. What a day!!!!

    Je suis navrée d'apprendre ce qui vient de vous arriver... Vous avez du avoir très peur... Heureusement que rien de grave ne vous soit arrivé.
    La peinture que vous nous montrez est très harmonieuse... j'aime beaucoup l'ensemble des nuances de couleurs.
    Je vous fais de gros bisous et prenez soin de vous.

    Thanks Kay & Janice! Martine Alison, thank you as well, and yes, this painting is a bit larger with a bit more time spent on it. The more work with the brush and less with the knife.

    Kimberly, So sorry to hear your Florida experience ended with a bad note. Thankfully, nothing happened that cannot be fixed. You must be feeling sore, tired, and beat-up, so just put your feet up and relax for a day or two.

    Love your art and cannot wait to see how it grows.

    Oh DEAR.
    Those little u-turn things can be very tricky especially if you aren't used to them.
    I'm glad it wasn't worse as it could have been.
