I am aware that I am less than some people prefer me to be,
but most people are unaware that I am so much more than what they see.

Art Lately

In spite of the severe pain I've been struggling with, I've tried to keep myself distracted by working on some art projects. It hasn't been easy. A few of them were challenging, and being on my feet even for those few minutes had me audibly aching, nauseated, and in tears at times. This along with muscle weakness is the reason I can't do this but every once in a while. People don't realize how much physical labor goes into these things, and it's impossible for someone like me to operate my muscles on a set schedule.

At any rate, my new acrylic abstracts are as follows:







I've learned acrylic pouring, and I'm loving the effects caused by various mediums I use, especially alcohol. Some artists use vodka, but I don't drink, so I keep it cheap and simple with rubbing alcohol, which produces the same results.

All of those should be clickable for larger viewing, but please don't download. (Side note: I can see downloads, including your IP address. I do track that.)

I appreciate all of the nice comments I've received about my work. I can't do much anymore, but I'm slowly using up all of the supplies I accumulated back in the day when I was able to be more active. I'll try to do more later this year.
