Thanks God...

I am so happy that there is no snow on the ground yet.
A month ago I fell on the stairs outside of the place I live and injured by spine. I was rushing to the painting workshop in the morning carrying art supplies and... That was horrible... Pain was excruciating and I could not grasp my breath. Luckily, I had my cell in my pocket and I called 911.
I am better now, but I am terrified of falling again... so slippery winter conditions do not excite me at all...
Thanks for the sunny beautiful weather today.

My First Blog

It is so difficult to start...
I have signed for this site quite a while ago and I was really terrified of composing my first blog.
English is my second language... I was born in Ukraine, former Soviet Union and lived in Poland.
I came to Toronto 27 years ago...
Although, I think that my English skills are not bad... I am still intimidated...
Well... I did it! First few sentences...
Actually, Barbara Muir is the wonderful and original artist, who has inspired me to finally make my move...
She was the speaker at the Don Valley Art Club on last Friday and I think she influenced every member that night.
Please check her blog: http://www.barbaramuirpaints.com.
Alright, talk to you later...
