Detail of a watercolour, gouache and pastel painting, of a bouquet of orange, white and yellow flowers with green foliage in a green bottle. The style is loose and impressionistic with some dark blue outlines. The inspiration for the painting was one of Raoul Dufy’s paintings.

Detail of a watercolour, gouache and pastel painting, of a bouquet of blue, purple and pink flowers. The style is loose and impressionistic with dark outlines in slightly different places from the filled in colour. The inspiration for the painting was one of Raoul Dufy’s paintings.

1st attempts at painting in the style of Dufy - a bit hit & miss but cropping down to parts I like makes me happier with my efforts. A reminder to focus on the pleasurable & the glimmers of hope among the imperfect brushstrokes of a chronically ill life.

For the next few weeks I’ll share stories from my photo project about #MECFS

Before Hillary became ill she was an entrepreneur, running companies, sponsoring motor racing, making music and living a full life.

Another #oilpainting done before #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis. When I first started teaching myself to paint my sister in-law gave me a big stack of Our Canada magazines for ideas. This was one of them.

Red is pain. Have had a migraine for a week now. On the painting, my symptoms are drawn and coloured within: Chronic rhinitis, migraine aura (unfocused eyes), headaches and jaw pain, nausea, mind fog and POTS.

I came across a photo of this 6"x6" painted side #oilpainting done before becoming ill with #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis. I had forgot I painted it to be honest. I gave it away as soon as it was done.

Highly detailed realistic acrylic painting of an orange and white tiger on a black background. Each hair and whisker are crisp. The tiger's eyes glow as it peers at the viewer through the leaves. The leaves belong to tropical plants similar to pothos. The style is a bit realism and a bit chiaroscuro. It is painted on an Ampersand clayboard scratchboard using liquitex winsor & newton and golden acrylics. The artist is disabled. Disability awareness 🌱 🐯 🐅

Acrylics on Clayboard
Tigers are one of my favorite animals
This one is only 5"×7" but it took forever because I scratched in each hair individually. I also have joint issues, so I can only work in short stints. I'm proud of myself for completing it, though!

A 6"x6" oil painting with painted sides. A simple scene with mountains in the back ground, a lake in the mid ground and a tree and bushes in front. All done in midnight blue.

Its hard to remember which #oilpaintings I've already shown. Here is another 6"x6" painted side piece. I'd like to do a few of these for sale in the near future

This is me! I am posting in solidarity with all that are chronically ill, have mental or physical (or both) disabilities, and just want to CREATE! I have 9 diagnosed chronic illnesses. I am so grateful for my ART. It heals.

You could, but that place exists in my head....I'm not sure you want to be in there that long...lol I know I don't...:)

Thanks! Glad you see the Bob Ross in it...:) A Bob Ross tape, a friends painting supplies and a joint is how I started. Ive moved away from his technique mostly now, but still like the way he does his skies.

Thank You!

Thank you for the compliment and for taking the time to look it up.

Thank You! So sorry you are dealing with it as well. Its not easy to live with especially on the severe end of the spectrum. This month marks the 14 year mark for me.

These are very nice!

This #oilpainting I did for my son before #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis. I've always just painted what I want & give them away, but this one he asked for something specific & did my best to give him that

It expresses how I feel at the moment as I'm coming into a phase where I feel better than I have felt in a long time #mecfs #chronicallyill #watercolor #traditionalart #originalartwork #art
