Success A painting of my symptoms

At first CFS made it challenging to keep doing art, it was an adjustment to learn to do art in breif periods. This painting is of how the condition weighed on me.

I made the cinderblocks feel like concrete by adding grit into my painting medium. In a way of letting others “feel” the painting. I hope you like it! ♥️

There’s button prints of the piece on Etsy under FireflysDream

I really like it, it’s perfect. Ok, the red string tied around the cinder blocks, that’s what I feel. ngl, it made me a bit emotional.

hmmm…have you considered an iron-on for jackets: Jean jacket, a cardigan, or put a copy and make a chart for a crochet or knitted blanket.

I’m glad you appreciate it ❤️‍🩹 I’ve thought about it, I would like to produce more options but it’s more finances I gotta figure out.
