Triumph over Disability!!

[enakitty]

This is my most recent finished piece.  I started it before I become very ill and physically disabled (I don't care to get into all the details of my health).  I didn't know if I'd ever be able to do any artwork again because of the physical challenges.  It's been a slow process, but my health has improved a bit.  I am able to do some painting now (on "good" days) , though it's a slow process as I am limited to how much I can do in a day and I have to stop frequently to lie down.  Even though I'm not able to put in the long hours of painting I did in the past I am thrilled to be able to paint again.  Anyway...this painting I started before I became too ill to paint.  I never knew if it would get finished or if I'd paint again at all.  Normally there's a sort of "high" that goes with finishing a piece, but this one was extra special.  It felt like a sort of victory...a triumph over illness/disability.  I'm happy to report that I've started another painting.  It will be my first painting done from start to finish since become ill. It will also be a special one.    Thanks for looking!!

(forgive my poor photography skills!  this piece is very bright in real life and the colors are very rich)

How cheerful, this brings a smile to my face.  So glad you were able to finish it.

Thanks everyone!  (I got a kick out of the "Bam! Neon Orca!" comment!)   It feels great to be making art again!!
