"Cog Fog"

[erash]

This still needs work but I'm going to move on to another painting and said I'd post this. It's been quite a few years since I held a paint brush, my hands are less steady and paints are old and not adhering to the canvas the way they should. But so glad to be painting again 😊--this is my rendition of "Cog Fog"

Morning Glory Umm erash l love your painting! !!! But how did you know where my biggest lesion is? That's remarkable! It's like looking at my MRI

[erash in reply to Jesmcd2]

Good morning to you too Jesmcd2 and thanks! I have X-ray vision (LOL) 😉

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to erash]

Ok well can you paint it out then? Then l will be alllllll better hahaha. It's a beautiful painting erash and so true about cog-fog

[erash in reply to Jesmcd2]

Jesmcd2 Great suggestion! Wish I could give that gift to us all! Maybe we can all meditate and visualize painting out our lesions? 🙄

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to erash]

Works for me erash still don't see why they just can't cut the suckers out. Blah lol They do brain surgery all the time. hahaha

[erash in reply to Jesmcd2]

Ha! I had brain surgery this past summer...well gamma knife (type of radiation) and it didn't work for my TN (trigeminal neuralgia) I think it scrambled my brain though 😜

But what creativity it has given to your painting!

[erash in reply to Jesmcd2]

I often imagine the clanging and drum beats of the MRI are pounding away my lesions 😊

Thanks! Why not...😊

[erash in reply to erash]

Iona60 you should def. do this too!

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to erash]

And Iona60 !!!!! Can l vote twice?

[Iona60 in reply to erash]

Just clicked on the link and it looks too complicated. Maybe I should just look at it again when I'm fresh in the morning.

[erash in reply to Iona60]

Iona60 not too bad. Complete the electronic form at the bottom of the link and they will send u a checklist for submission. I hav a call in to them re. The size as there are 2 different criteria depending on where you look on the info.

I understand though. Too much info and my brain wants to shut down.

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to erash]

Most definitely do it erash !!!

Erash, how talented you are! And your painting is like looking in a mirror....have you entered that MS artists' contest? It might be by the National MS Society, but you would win it hands down!

[erash in reply to Sukie427]

Sukie427 Thank you, I've looked at past entrants, they r very good! Win or lose, I'm entering. 😊 How terrific to do something I could share.

There r so many talented people in this group!

The newest Picasso! Terrific painting! I wish I could do that! I would fail at paint by number!

Yep that would be me today - a completely distorted version of the Jidi I once was, a stranger. But I have faith Jesus will hold my hand til the day is done and I will have a new body and a new brain. Great painting
