hi Ginger.. I did decide since I"m not going to have a right hand that I"m going to turn it all into a positive. I bought larger canvas ( for less detail work), and I"m going to attempt to soften my abstract paintings by using my left hand!!!!! I"m actually looking forward to it. I have a couple ideas already. Right now, I'm just trying to get out the commission Christmas work.. while I have a right hand..ha At least I have something to do when I can't sleep now. Seems like everyone wants work done now. But,, still would rather sleep.

@mcmurf2 Wow! I didn't know you are an artist- How cool is that! I have found in my experience that those of us who are creative souls feel everything in our soul/heart more deeply, positive or negative. As a natural left-hander, surgery on my right shoulder would not be a problem ;)) But playing around and doing things in your non-dominant hand can lead to some hilarious or frustrating or surprising outcomes.
Commission work - probably people have no idea how long a project takes start to finish, right? What medium do you work in? We have several members here at May Connect who do artwork.
Would you care to share a picture you are proud of, here?
