‘POWERED by PARKINSON’s’. I’ve turned my tremor into my servant. It does all my shading for me.

Here’s my latest #drawing It’s interesting watching my #Parkinson’s tremor into my servant. I put a pencil into my hand & let the tremor do all the work with little effort on my part.

I painted this acrylic out of love to help me grieve the loss of this young bride’s husband. Delaney & Rik had such a powerful love. #acrylicpainting #portraitpainting

Lovely memories Emma. Reminds me of the blueberries my brother and I were charged to pick when my father was a camp Director. Our pails would be empty when we returned to our cabin, and our faces covered in purple.
