From 2018 - This one I called Rest with ME, only with #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis there is no rest. EVER. The symptoms don't stop day or night. Its hard to sleep and when you do its not refreshing. #LifewithME

A digital oil drawing printed on textured paper of a swift parrot sitting on a thin gum tree branch, with an out of focus gum tree behind. The swift parrot is mainly bright yellow and green, with little bits of red, orange and pink.
Critically Endangered Swift Parrot is one of just three migratory parrots on earth. Removal of their habitat has left possibly 500 in the wild.

Iβve lived near #VancouverBC most of my life but rarely visit the city. When I do, I'm taken back each time anew by how beautiful and unique the city really is

A very colorful sunset with mountains in the background. Silhouette of trees and bushes in front and sun reflecting orange and reds across the water. Two young boys sitting on the shore looking out over the water and the sunset
Another one done before becoming severely ill with #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis. Its hard to remember but I think the main reference was from a magazine with some of my own added

I've seen a few artists do these type of #paintings so thought I'd take a crack at one. It turned out OK I think.

Detail of a watercolour, gouache and pastel painting, of a bouquet of orange, white and yellow flowers with green foliage in a green bottle. The style is loose and impressionistic with some dark blue outlines. The inspiration for the painting was one of Raoul Dufyβs paintings.
Detail of a watercolour, gouache and pastel painting, of a bouquet of blue, purple and pink flowers. The style is loose and impressionistic with dark outlines in slightly different places from the filled in colour. The inspiration for the painting was one of Raoul Dufyβs paintings.
Detail of a watercolour, gouache and pastel painting, of a bouquet of blue, purple and red flowers. The style is loose and impressionistic. The inspiration for the painting was one of Raoul Dufyβs paintings.
1st attempts at painting in the style of Dufy - a bit hit & miss but cropping down to parts I like makes me happier with my efforts. A reminder to focus on the pleasurable & the glimmers of hope among the imperfect brushstrokes of a chronically ill life.

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.
