More of my paintings.

Monday was supposed to be the first day of term. I got up, got myself ready and went off to work. It lasted about one and a half hours and then I was sent home for being obviously unwell. I have never known a bug like this one; I can’t remember the last time any thing made me this ill. After about the first week I thought I was feeling a bit better, I even spent an hour or so out in the garden, but maybe that was a mistake.  I realised I wasn’t getting better, the illness was just changing. What I’m left with, three weeks into this illness is dizziness and virtual deafness. There is a constant ‘whoosy sound’ in my ears and I can’t hear any thing except echos Still the Dr says ‘it’s a virus and there’s nothing we can do for it’.
On a brighter note; being deaf and hearing ‘whoosy sounds’ hasn’t stopped me sitting at the kitchen table and finishing of a couple of paintings. I’ve had these paintings half finished for ages. The portrait is similar but not the same as one I did a little while ago and the landscapes were both started back in the summer when I was painting several local scenes that I had previously photographed.
