Tenuously painting again.
4 years ago
I may begin to stream it, the past year has been very hard for me. Those of you who know, know. I'm finding it difficult to face the thing I love doing most under a condition that targets it and my love of it the most. I've had a painting nearly finished, untouched for the past year that I'm just kind of glancing over at, touching it a few times. Honestly I'm so scared I'm going to try and commit to working on it just to realize how troubled my ability to see my art has become. I'm trying a little at least.
what can you do?...

Feel like I was giving that advice to myself. Been struggling with improving my artwork myself and I worry too much about finishing a project and don't even get started.
You make some absolutely marvelous artwork but don't worry about making sure every piece you create is a masterpiece :)
Someone once said that if you're gonna eat an elephant then do it one bite at a time ... I forgot where I was going with this. Anyway I hope you like elephant ;3
And I have egg rolls.
good to hear from you again, too.
I'm happy to hear from you as well :3

and filled with caramel and cookie crunch.
i seriously hope you can get back into it even with the vision problems
I remember reading your original huge explanation of the issue, and I still feel for ya'. It's a shitty hand youve been dealt.
I myself had my own model-painting ability (a hobby I absolutely adore and is definitely one of my favorite ways to spend time) severely hampered by injuries years back to my hand. I've never gotten back to where I was before the hand/arm shakes, but keeping at it and finding a way has gotten me to enjoy it again in the last three years.
I wish you the best in overcoming said bad hand you've been dealt; or if it's not something that can be overcome (which is very possible in life, nothing wrong about that), I believe your perseverance will find you a way to work around/with the issue.
That's how I eventually found a much, much, much slower & less efficient, but effective, way to lock my arm with my other arm to be able to steady it enough to paint again. I hope you can find your spark and enjoyment again as you keep on carrying on with getting back to your love of and huge well of expressive talent. <3
Thanks for being there and listening to me!
Glad to read you will try again, kind of a hard situation where I don't really know what to say to be supportive, you already know, I'm not a master of words.
I'm happy you're here, the being you've shared is really deep, and I wish you to do the things who makes you happy.
You're a master of words and the catto arts.
