Painting, Like Laughter, Is Good Medicine

Yesterday I had one of those awful sinus headaches. I wasn't very productive. I took medication and I then had a nap. Upon waking I was feeling a little better. There were a couple good hours of daylight left. I decided that even though I didn't feel 100% I would work on my painting. I added more graphic lines to the tree trunks of the redwoods. The trees are slowly taking shape. By the time I finished working on the painting yesterday, I was feeling better. So I have concluded that painting, just like laughter, is good medicine.
