What a generous artist you are, sharing watercolor tips, advice on finding fine places in which to paint, where to have the counsel of good painting teachers, and ... what something called Back Joy can bring to many folks who spend many hours seated at tables or desks.<br /><br />Merci for the advice. Merci also for sharing all the recent paintings, in many colors both full strength and muted.<br /><br />xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-11495118931624808212012-09-20T16:03:25.502-04:002012-09-20T16:03:25.502-04:00I remember my Dad having one of those or something...I remember my Dad having one of those or something similar!

One hip being forward and one back and have had screaming pain in the knee. I think this would be good for doing my painting and drawing and sitting at this computer so I don't hunch over so much. Love your paintings BTW. Did you do any local color 'Painting' while there? I need to go back to ones I missed due to this back of mine. Love your painting desk too. :)Cris, Artist in Oregonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15067969984221375853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-56131381656924179342012-09-19T15:30:55.083-04:002012-09-19T15:30:55.083-04:00Thanks Christina

Just ordered one. I already do all those exercises you mention in the earlier post, plus now I do a bike ride each day to get my heart pumping away, seems to help with all manner of pains in my body from the work I do. Still I am always happy to add something new to the back care regime! You might want to try pilates, those exercises are all part of it, but it really strenghens the core as they say and helps enormously.Christinahttp://www.jamfancy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-8796660140339622642012-09-19T13:01:27.522-04:002012-09-19T13:01:27.522-04:00Very nice...Paris in Maine!
