A digital oil drawing printed on textured paper of a swift parrot sitting on a thin gum tree branch, with an out of focus gum tree behind. The swift parrot is mainly bright yellow and green, with little bits of red, orange and pink.

Critically Endangered Swift Parrot is one of just three migratory parrots on earth. Removal of their habitat has left possibly 500 in the wild.

Iโ€™ve lived near #VancouverBC most of my life but rarely visit the city. When I do, I'm taken back each time anew by how beautiful and unique the city really is

A very colorful sunset with mountains in the background. Silhouette of trees and bushes in front and sun reflecting orange  and reds across the water. Two young boys sitting on the shore looking out over the water and the sunset

I've seen a few artists do these type of #paintings so thought I'd take a crack at one. It turned out OK I think.

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 Dufyโ€™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 Iโ€™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.

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 ๐ŸŒฑ ๐Ÿฏ ๐Ÿ…

Tigers are one of my favorite animals
This one is only 5"ร—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!
