Struggling. My attempts to cope with the horrors of a world I no longer understand are posted here as paintings [and, occasionally drawings and photographs.] I also repost things that interest me by other people. No lists please. And no NFTs.

Thanks Isabel. I'll try to but, to be honest, I'm not good at that. I'm supposed to rest as much as possible but I find it very difficult to do so. X

Thanks Linda. I intend to. X

Working is more important for my mental health than not doing so is for my physical health. I'll take things easier and simpler than usual using left hand more than right... and stop if things start to get uncomfortable.

Here are two - quite different from usual - that I have been working on.

Thank you Frances. It's my own fault for not resting my right arm for long enough originally. But I am determined to keep out of the studio this time. I'll be back with new images in due course. X

This is the 2nd of the 2 that I started before the 'weakness' set in again. I had already managed to finish the ink and pastel bits, and some of the painted bits with left hand, earlier... but I now need to/must definitely rest and stay out of the studio!.. so no more for quite a while... sorry.

This is first of 2 that I began before the 'weakness' set in again. Managed to finish the ink and pastel bits, and some of the painted bits with left hand... but still need to rest and take it easy.... blime but it's frustrating.

My pleasure. I hope so too... and I'm sure they will. X

This will be the last piece posted for a while. [only a short while I hope.]

Oh I am so sorry to hear of so much misfortune all at once. I'm afraid I have nowt material to offer but, if it will help in some small way, I give you a very old man's heartfelt hug. {{{{HUG}}}}
