facebook share to pinterest saturday october 27 2012 it s been a long time i haven t touched this blog in a very long time i ve been trying to figure out life now that multiple sclerosis ms had caught up with me i have had ms for long time over 20 years and was able to get back up after the attacks but as it s progressed i m not able to recover like i used to it has seriously effected my balance and it is not fun having vertigo and i am not able to walk much due to muscle weakness it s not something i can work through as ms attacks the nerves in the nervous system and that caused things to go haywire so working out doesn t fix the muscle weakness because it s not a muscle problem it s the nerves that control the muscles signals don t get through the damaged nerves from the brain to the muscles to make the muscles work needless to say i haven t been on a bike in a long time i miss it soooo very much being housebound sucks i have taken early retirement which sucks too i d rather be working and part of life instead of life moving on without me but enough whining in the midst of winter i finally learned there was in me an invincible summer albert camus i continue to work on my art skills and have sold a few pieces and kept a few that i really like but when i sleep i dream of riding my bike posted by michelle at 2 22 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to

pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday september 04 2011 far away there in the sunshine summer is winding down it s getting dark at night instead of the summer 24 hours of daylight the leaves are turning i m not ready for winter yet i have been taking a class by wyanne called paint free a way to just let go and find your own style of art i am enjoying this class and appreciate that it is not full of your inner goddess and stuff like that guess what i would make a crappy goddess because i am not divine and am full of the same human garbage as everyone else therefore it is my opinion that there are no goddesses anyway sometimes i feel like telling the artsy fartsies as my husband calls them to just shut up and paint i dont want to meditate or stand on my head or yoga poses or breath insense or imagine me as being a god what the heck does that mean anyway anyway the object of paint free is not to create masterpieces but to just paint rather spontainously and not focuse on what other people think is a piece of art so here are a few of my random spontainious paintings and we can only use paint which is hard for me since i have more control with drawing than painting we can also use alcohol to drip into very wet acrylic paint which makes a very cool effect i have been on my bike a few times and miss it so much i am feeling much better but not yet normal but have more almost normal days than bad days the penguin painting is actually drawn from a blind scribble you close your eyes and just scribble around on a piece of paper and then find an image in the scribble and go for it it was fun the view through my bicycle wheel was a 30 minute painting of something you love 30 minutes and them you must stop the last is much a layering excersize and it is much prettier in person and looks very layered by making different layers with clear gesso and glossy self leveling gel i can t get a good scan of it no matter what i try posted by michelle at 1 56 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest saturday july 02 2011 teal haired girl girl totally copied from samantha kira aka
