Today my sister-in-law volunteered to spend time with Jerry early in the day so that I could have some time to go out and sketch with my friend, Suzala. We met at Seatuck Environmental Center in Islip which is near Jerry's rehab facility. Today was a beautiful, mild day, perfect to spend a few hours outdoors (semi-bundled up) sketching en plein air. We sketched for a few hours and it was nice to work on something bigger than a postcard.lol This is 8 x 10. It was great to get out and then be able to be back with Jerry by about 2:30.
Speaking of Jerry, he had something new added to his physical therapy at the end of the week.
He was able to actually take a few steps on his prosthetic leg with the help of two therapists and the parallel bars.

The sketch is a really wonderful composition! So good to see you getting out again!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tina. It felt so good to be out in the fresh air sketching with a friend.
DeleteJoan than you for sharing an update on Jerry. It sounds like he is finally "coming out of the woods." So glad you to see you able to get out and sketch. It is lovely one too. Take care. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteDebbie, thanks so much. It was good to be out for a while, especially when I knew he was in good hands. Have a great week.
DeleteA wonderful sketch Joan and so nice that you were able to get out for a bit. Thanks for the update on Jerry and bet wishes to a speedy adjustment to his new 'leg'
ReplyDeleteVal, thank you. I was surprised that they had a leg ready for him so quickly. Now he needs the strength and stamina to use it.
DeleteWonderful sketch! That building with its complicated forms, you once again made it look easy, ha! good luck to whoever tries :). Love it!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear Jerry is making some progress. Long way ahead but I hope he is beginning to feel optimistic about it, and you too. Take care! Hugs!
Beautiful sketch! You are a great architect.
ReplyDeleteSounds like Jerry is making progress. That will be good for you both.
