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.

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 #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

Another #oilpainting started before I got #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis. It was to be my first try at a portrait & got as far as blocking in basic colors. Alot of concentration to finish this one & thats not working too great for me these days...:) One day... #WIP

A fellow mild #MEcfs person made a comment on my description of Walk with ME claiming it wasn't 'happy' enough. I told them its my truth, my reality, & and couldn't describe any other way. They erased the comment and posted this on their page. I feel a little offended...Thoughts?

This #oilpainting doesn't get shown too often. Not sure why. Why the guy on the pier looks a bit like a cowboy I don't know either....It just turned out that way...:)

This #oilpainting was done before I became sick with #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis. The reference picture was from Our Canada magazine. Interestingly I have since seen other artist do their version of this

I usually hate my #paintings when done. All I see are the flaws and mistakes. This one is different, I actually like it.

I'm suppose to be completing all unfinished #WIP this year. So what do I do instead? I start 2 new ones. At least one of those is finished...I think.

Another #oilpainting done before #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis. I hated this one so much it went in the garbage...but my son rescued it and hung it in his room. He's on his own now but the painting remains

From 2018 - #FUmyalgicE - I don't think it was everyone's favorite at the time but certainly was mine. Sometimes you just got to make your feelings known. #LifewithME

Another #WIP ...... I started this #oilpainting years ago while sick with #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis. I feel it needs more, the person I'm giving it to thinks its done. What do you think?

A Work in Progress. This 18x36 #oilpainting, the follow-up to 'Wandering Man' shown recently, has been on hold for over 14 yrs due to #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis Maybe one day I'll finish...:)

Here is the reference photo I used from along the #fraserriver in #langleyBC. The path is train tracks in real life.

Another 6”x6” #oilpainting, with painted sides, done before becoming ill with #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis. I used a friends profile photo on Facebook to surprise him with a #painting.
