Surgery and recuperation

I had surgery on my right hand in January. The diagnosis was severe arthritis in the thumb joint. I practiced a little bit before the surgery with my left hand. You can see the result. I think the drawing looks great compared to the printing! 'Ol Lefty was up to the challenge and has been working hard these past months. I'm proud of her! My right hand is coming along, practicing stretching and gripping Play Doh. The surprise was how stiff my wrist was and I continue doing the exercises to loosen that joint. The strength is gradually coming back. It's taking a while! I will be out there painting in late Spring and Summer. Hope to see everyone
