Making the best out of what I have: Meet @drsharon Apr 3 5:44am | By Teresa, Volunteer Mentor (@hopeful33250)Comment receiving replies
@drsharon thank you for sharing your experiences.
I have cough variant asthma. I’m not sure how it is affecting my breathing, but I know it is. All my scans are very good.
I started painting in 2020 when I was 70. I love abstract paintings. For me, I swipe paint on a canvas, board, or paper. then stare at it until I see an idea. It’s like looking at the sky and seeing the cloud elephant.
My favorite medium is watercolor followed by acrylic and alcohol ink.
Painting when you have tremors can be frustrating. I have a neurological disorder. It is frustrating.
Again, thanks for sharing your story with us.

@SusanEllen66 I hope I'm sending this to the correct party, if not, the content can be properly routed to the right person (thank you Mayo Moniitors) Just in case.
Re the artist: Way to be you.!! Luv that you have such a strong motivation. Since you luv abstract then mentioned tremors it made me think hmm, Let your tremors help you make some of the art. Beautiful colors, motion, unexpected 'holy cows'. Now I wanna see a sample. Omg, keep arting lovely lady.

@SusanEllen66 I'm glad to hear you're sticking with your art in spite of the challenges. Time stands still when you're creating and many of us keep painting with challenges from Matisse (cancer) Renoir (rheumatoid arthitis) Monet (could barely see) and Van Gogh (mental issues) Hang in there! I love oil painting in part because I can make mistakes and correct them.
