  Hi Kim, is the 2-week deadline non-negotiable? Perhaps you can suspend other activities to have more time to rest your arm rather than post a blog!
  
  I remember when I had that trouble with my arm and couldn't help but use it, until it really snapped. And that was the end of my pitching career at age 22.
  
  I hope nothing like this happens. I was just throwing balls, you are creating something that will last a lifetime.
  
  Take care and I will pray you heal fast and well. --Durano, done!

  Hi Kim OMG!
  
  Is Dr. Alexander in private practice?
  A very impressive Portrait!
  
  I hope you are taking good care of your health and arms, my friend?

  hi Brad
  thanks for your timely advice :)
  I tried giving up the washing but it sort of piled up in the laundry....
  I'm sure the family thinks that it washes itself more often than not...
  as for the deadline....it's not negotiable....31st January is the date but I do have another painting as back up....still it would be nice to enter both...so I'll keep plodding along....
  I imagine having to give up your baseball would have been pretty devastating too !!
  thanks for your kind words :)
  
  
  hi Debbie of the Black Hole Virus LOL....
  your impression of Alexander as a Doctor is pretty intuitive as I have been thinking about a title for this portrait and "intern" came to mind simply because he has just turned 18 and basically has just began his internship for life...
  my Mum has been suggesting titles too "youth" "fresh" are two other titles ...perhaps I should have a "suggest a title" competition and ask the admin at Technorati to be the judges....;)
  look after that flu of yours and don't go swimming around any of those lighthouses this week :)

  Kim, your portrait is going to be just gorgeous! I love how you've handled the hair, capturing its "character" without having it becoming too dominant.
  
  I have to tell you--I think I already mentioned it once--that my left elbow tendinitis that lasted over two years, didn't get better until I finally gave in and absolutely babied it! So take care, be careful, and don't set yourself back. I'm glad you got the bromelain and hope it helps.
  
  Thanks for the site recommendations!
  
  I LIKE your site design. It's clean, smart looking, and I totally associate it with you at this point. But of course, you will do what you feel a need to do, and you'll do it well. :)

  thanks for your critique on the portrait Lynda ..it's great !
  I am about to start the hands today...
  I had my first Bromelain this morning as well as a spray on my right arm..
  I am trying very hard to be careful with the left one....
  2 years...goodness...
  my Mum and my sister have both had their shoulders go on them and recovery time was 12 months and 6 months respectively...
  ah yes ...new design might end up like a reshuffle to make for quicker page loading...
  thanks very much for your complimentary feedback...it's very much appreciated :)

  Thank you, Kim, for visiting my site and your kind comments. The portrait is so promising - there is great command and I sense the subject's young sauve as yet untrampled determination.
  
  Will visit. Hope your shoulder gets better.
• Kim 15.1.08
  
   

  thank you John...
  I like that interpretation :)
  he certainly is a determined teenager....
  I like to think of him as suave too (being his Mum) :)
  
  thanks for your good wishes ...
• Diane 15.1.08
  
   

  Every time I came here to write a comment I got sidetracked following links but I am now finally back and can say that I love the portrait. The love for the subject and the bond between you both shines through. It's a wonderful portrait.
  
  I hope if you do push ahead to finish this you can then spend some time nursing your shoulder, it's very precious!
  
  And as for laundry - having no clean clothes is a wonderful incentive to getting the kids to help out....

  ha Diane
  thanks for your comments on Alexander's Portrait...
  I'm still trying to get him to to stand still long enough to finish those hands !!
  
  "having no clean clothes"
  I didn't think of that :)
  perhaps they have too many !!!
  everytime I show the kids how to wash ...they "forget" how to do it...
  especially the sorting....turning the clothes inside out...emptying pockets and most of all placing them in the machine...
  it's one of those skills that I doubt they will ever acquire...
  and believe me I have tried...
  just putting the clothes in their laundry baskets is a challenge for them.....:0

  Hi Kim,
  The portrait looks wonderful! You have captured this lad's spirit. I hope your injury heals quickly so you can be back up and running.

  I hope the healing is going well.

  I think I have taken care of the new year memes backlog....and now hopefully I'll be able to keep up to date....
  thanks re the shoulder...
  hopefully next Tuesday's scans will reveal the extent of the problem :)
