I should be going home today. I always have mixed feelings about going home from the hospital. I'm sure you're thinking, "you actually enjoy being in the hospital?" The answer to that is way more complicated than a yes or no.
Yes, I enjoy being in the hospital. There's a huge peace of mind when you're in the hospital for treatment. You're constantly monitored by doctors and nurses, and, let me tell you, they're pretty awesome here. Even when I feel like I'm being annoying asking for all the things, they always seem happy to help. And then your numbers are constantly looked at by doctors, so I have reassurance every single day that I'm on the right track.
And, of course, I get to do All. The. Art. I have time to work on Louisiana pieces and work in my sketchbook. What can get better than that? I have no other responsibilities. Lol. I worry about Heath getting bored, but I'm pretty sure that he's really good at keeping himself entertained. He's not only the best human ever, but he's the most patient person I've ever met.
But at the same time, there's nothing like being at home. I have ideas for larger scale pieces that I can only work on at home. Mixed Media. I LOVE working on mixed media art. It presents itself with its own challenges. Heath and I have also talked about ways to create custom frames for my pieces. I'm pretty excited to be able to get home and work on that. That turns into art in itself as well. So, when someone purchases an Erin Hanna Original, the whole piece is art, including the framing.
Sooo... as I mentioned in a previous blog post, my glass is full. I'm stuck in a hospital, but I get to do all the art. And coloring. And bingeing on Parks and Rec. I'm good.
Love y'all.
-Erin
