Carrying on with Art with PD?

This is my husbands latest project. All his own drawings which he loves doing, now adding colour. Making a slide show took some doing. It’s like meditation for him and is very absorbing.

He’s managed to do this all whilst looking after me as well, I’ve just had a second total knee replacement!

He s still doing Wrigas broccoli tea, Red light therapy and now 6 years with PD manages to have some reasonably good days.

Our son a musician wrote the music.

Very enjoyable art and I love the music too. It’s soothing in a way.

We love his music too! It just seemed to fit to the drawings.

Thanks. He’s rediscovered the drawing he has dabbled in on and off for years! Tremor stops when drawing, and completely absorbs him

The entire piece reminds me of the Jacqueline Lawson card website. Your husband and son's work is of that caliber. She has cards on her site that include delicate drawings. Are you familiar with the site ?

Yes we do know of them and really like their cards and music! My husband is planning on making a few of these videos as he has lots of drawings who knows where it will lead. Thanks for your kind comments.

I'm so pleased the drawing is going from strength to strength. A lovely interlude in my Sunday morning!Reminds me of the fascinating intriguing detailed drawings by Chris Riddell. I agree - who knows?!

Thanks for your kind words. He’s working on more videos too, and as you say who knows what else?

Beautiful combination. My crafting is also working for me. The music is lovely!cN u share more info on light therapy please? Thanks

Thanks I m glad crafting is working for you. Total immersion into this artistic outlet is truly helpful in anybody, but with PD I think it allows you to escape into another place.Here is another post I did a while back which discusses the red light hat. If you put either that or Redlight coronet in the search there is a lot of information on it.
