Looking at it a 2nd and 3rd time, there's so much complexity in your painting that is so difficult (IMHO) to achieve with water color :-O

Thank you for your kind words of encouragement. I kind of paint in a pixelated style.

My artist husband just corrected me, it's called pointilism.

Iona60 , the Cotswolds was my favorite area when I visited England years ago. You've taken me back to those beautiful memories with your painting.

I still can't get over your talent! Keep painting and sharing your gift with us! šŸŽØ

I did a summer abroad program at Oxford when I was in college, and I was so lucky to have been able to visit the Cotswolds.

Standard answer, good days and not so good days. Got started on Gabapentin last week and it's really helping the rib cage tingles and the legs, but not as much on the legs. I got started with a new GP yesterday and really like her. I'll be able to get all my RX without having to have hubby drive me 20+ miles to pick up handwritten script. Won't have to deal with incompetent office staff. I love my previous doc, but they are now part of a Medical group that is limiting what they are able to do. Had my mammo this morning and will be getting bone density test next week. seems like busy times. How are you doing? I keep having a dream that I don't have ms, that all this is from my arthritic spinal problems and we can cure it! Would that be swell, I'd still come here as you all are my new family!

CalfeeChick so glad the gabapentin is giving some relief! Sounds like you are moving forward which I'm sure feels much better than treading water with your health care.

I'm doing very well! (knocking on my wooden head). I'm the queen of denial and try not to focus on what I can't do.

I hope your dream does come true!

I ditto what erash says about wishing your dream comes true, CalfeeChick . I wish the gabapentin did more for you, but happy you've gotten some relief.

Hi, I love your picture! I instantly knew it was the Cotswolds without reading. I live just down the road in Cheltenham which is described as The Gateway to the Cotswolds and I really must visit more as I love it !
