WIPs & Update

Hi everyone.
TL;DR: Not doing great.

I must apologize for the lack of content recently. My wife and I have been dealing with a difficult situation regarding our eldest dog, Nina. She's around 13 years of age and, sadly, it's beginning to show.
At the start of June we had to take her on an emergency visit to the vet 'cause she was in a lot of pain which resulted in her being hospitalized for 2 days. In her time there they made a number of exams to check what could be causing of her pain and they found 3 large tumors, 1 in her spleen and 2 big ones in her adrenal glands plus a few smaller masses.
These findings were not the cause of her pain though, turns out she's also suffering from arthrosis in her hips and tailbone.
We are managing her hip pain with medication which fortunately are helping her a lot. The tumors though, are another story entirely.
We are still in the middle of regular vet appointments and tests to see how we could proceed and what our options are, if any, but her prognosis isn't the best.

All of this has had a very noticeable impact on my anxiety and mental health, which is why I've been so silent and as you can see from the images I've shared, I've been very scatterbrained and without much energy to concentrate and finish any painting. I'm also working on a commission and a YCH auction (which I cannot show right now) but progress is painfully slow at the moment.
I've been trying to cope with everything by picking up watercolor painting which is surprisingly very calming despite the difficult medium, maybe I'll post one or two examples in the future ,they are a completely unrelated topic to what I 'usually' post here tho.

As always, thank you so very much for your support and I apologize again for my inconsistency.
