I just assumed you were all "painted out" for now haha, as you just did one after another after another .
But anyone , I hope you get better and back on your feet soon .

Thank you!!
In a way I am 'painted out' for now. It always seems to come and go for me and I currently lack inspiration. But that can change within an hour, hihi.
But the last month I couldn't really do anything much because of my ankle. Still no idea what it really was. GP thought an inflamed tendon.
Last week I began specific TCM for swollen ankles and suddenly it went down! Within a day major improvement! I'm not completely out of the woods yet, but close to it.
Time to lower dosis of NSAIDs (for inflammation). Been taking that for 4 weeks now, been enough. Already went from 600mg Ibuprofen to 400. Now about to try 200mg.
I actually had Naproxen from GP but holy cow, does that stuff play tricks on the brain! Took 1, never again, hihi.

That's interesting to hear! I haven't experimented with oils so far. Currently, I'm finding pleasure in working with gouache.

I wish for your ankle to heal quickly!

Thank you, PinkFlower!!
I haven't used gouache since secondary school, so I can't remember pros & cons myself. But did read that it is in a sense more versatile than acrylics. Once acrylics have dried it not water soluble any longer where gouache should be.
So maybe it has the similar benefits to work with as I described for oils?
