Good News!

First off, let me thank all the kind people who offered me

their sage advice in dealing with a different kind of diet.

I tried the delicious recipes, ate lots of salads, went red meatless

and dairy free for two weeks, lost about 4 pounds, and feel better.

The good news is that the blood test for Alpha-Gal allergy was

NEGATIVE.

I have no idea what the hives were caused from and I am

sure I did not imagine them. Red spots and itching/burning

really happened. The good thing is that I actually began

to enjoy eating lots of veggies and fruits and I hope

to continue doing that.  So thank you, dear friends.

I did not do much art this week and none last week.

I am in my reading mood, not painting mood.

Here is all I have to offer.

The start of a spread in my journal in mixed media class. We
began by doodling over both pages. Then I took off on my own

using my metallic gelatos. This doesn't show

up well because of the sheen of the gelatos.

Then Thursday night I did this watercolor painting of a lily.

The photo I used was taken by my niece and used with

her permission. Thanks to Eva and Kristin for hosting

PAINT PARTY FRIDAY

and giving us the opportunity to enjoy lots of art.
