My father went into the hospital two nights ago, and he has pneumonia. He'll probably be there at least through the weekend, and then will need some looking after when he gets home. I can't do this, and do that. My loved ones come first. Not to mention we are leaving for Nepal again in just over two weeks. I need to both literally and figuratively get my house in order before then.
So here are two more paintings. I have one and a half more in the wings because I painted ahead and painted two in one day a couple of times. But as soon as I let myself off the hook, I'll probably be dying to paint. You know how that goes.
Day 14: Coffee With Laura (and a view)
I exercised artistic license and left out the so-called Ugly Buddha statue that was appearing to rise out of my coffee cup. During our visit to Swayambhunath,
Laura Bowman and I found a tiny cafe off the square and had a cup of coffee together. (Click on her name, and listen to her music. You owe it to yourself.)
Swayambhunath is one of the Monkey Temples that the travel consultant strongly advised against visiting. I'm sure glad we didn't listen.

Day 15: Ode to Georgia
This one was inspired by a painting on the cover of a book that Georgia O'Keefe wrote about her work and life. The mountains at the bottom are loosely based on this panoramic shot I took before we hiked up to a resort that's being built there.
