"Walking with Nordick Poles" is an oil painting that I recently revised for the WAAL show at the High Road Gallery in January 2013. I was not satisfied with the painting and made some minor changes to my face, jacket and edges. This is one of my early attempts to use loose brush strokes in the background. It is 12 x 16 in. I have been using these poles because it not only helps with my balance problems but I can walk much further.
