I want my account to split focus equally between: • My own art • ME/CFS, Long Covid, Chronic Illness news & Advocacy • Sharing your incredible creations I struggle finding news and your art to share. Want a repost? Drop your links below! #MECFS #ChronicIllness #ArtShare #ArtistsOnBluesky
An informational graphic titled "CALLING ALL ARTISTS & CREATORS WITH CHRONIC ILLNESS & DISABILITY" in bold purple and teal text against a textured, light cream background. In the center, four interlocking rings feature icons representing disability and creativity: a person in a wheelchair, a brain, an awareness ribbon, and a hand holding a paintbrush. Below the icons, a bulleted list reads "DISABILITY ART," "CHRONIC ILLNESS NEWS," "YOUR STORIES," and "YOUR WORK." At the bottom, a teal banner reads "SHARE YOUR ART WITH ME TO BE FEATURED!"

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 #MEcfs #PwME #LongCovid #painting #art #artwork #oilpainting #brentmichaelstudios #langleyartist #BCartist #canadianartist
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

A 6"x6" oil painting with painted sides. A simple scene with mountains in the back ground, a lake in the mid ground and a tree and bushes in front. All done in midnight blue.

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 #MEcfs #painting #art #artwork #brentmichaelstudios #BMS #langleyartist #BCartist #canadianartist
An oil painting of a near frozen winding stream, a cabin on the right, heading towards a bright yellow horizon in the distance. The colors are a mix of greens and yellows as well as snow.

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 #painting #BCartist #canadianartist

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? #pwME #severeME

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 #MEcfs #MEawareness #pwME #pwLC #longcovid #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #bms #brentmichaelstudios #art

Another work in progress finished (my goal for the year). Its a just-for-fun dollar store piece I flashed up a bit with paint, new keys & sheet music. Of course I lost a piece & had to make a new one. It wouldn't be a project without a lost or broken piece. #art #crafts #piano #justforfun #musicbox
