Wow! Your work is excellent!

Wait. That's a painting? That's not a picture? Wow. That's some serious talent. Very nice.

Thank you both - you're very kind

Very beautiful especially with the composition...I'd need to see it real up close to admire the brush work, just stunning.

Thanks for those good wishes!
I haven't photographed any of this years work yet (another 'to do' thing!)
I'll post an apple painting ...in humble honour of Nicoticket Band Camp ...sort of on topic!

OMG Trisha that is beautiful. It is so incredibly life like, it is brilliant! thank you for posting.

When you have the time it would be great to see more of your work.

When the sun goes away for winter.

Really the other one makes me so very depressed as I look at it remembering the joy I had making things and now? I just take up space. My MS has leveled me and taken away my greatest joy in life making pottery. I sit here, I sleep, I dream up wonderful new things I'd like to make and I do not have the physical ability to do so. I wander around touching my work and crying some and it is just too depressing.

And the avi kinda makes me giggle as the sun is so very happy in that cartoon and it makes me angry. Evil sun!!! *shakes fist*

I literally feel your pain.
I'm an artist and master leather worker. My primary medium is leather and my primary focus was sculpture and mask making. Great heaping amounts of fine, detailed tooling and using dyes like a painter uses brushes.
About a year ago, I contracted a strange viral infection that attacked my eyes. For several months, I was close to being blind. Eventually, the docs identified and irradicated the cause which returned most of my sight to me, but left me with an extreme light sensitivity that can't be mitigated enough to normalize my vision even by wearing shades (which I do most of the time).
As a result, I can't work on my art at all anymore. The way my eyes work now is like looking through a cloud of steam all the time.
I pop in and out of here and FB a few times a day, but more than a few minutes on my iPad or computer becomes painful.
I also have a constant stream of ideas for new pieces I'd like to do that I just can't do anymore.

MKR and Dog, I really hope you both realilize how blessed you are to have such tallent, even if (God Forbid) you never get to create another piece. I really envy all of you tallented people out there, and this is coming from someone who cannot even color and stay in the lines....

AD and Megan, I admire the works you both have created and realize how frustrating it can be not being able to do what you love. My wife paints and my youngest daughter will be getting her BFA (Bachelor of Fine Arts) next spring semester. Me, like Mikeo, I cannot stay in the lines with crayons let alone even use the old paint by numbers (showing how old I am). I pray for both of you that some miracle cure is found.

Thank you!

All of you wonderful folks,
I am deeply moved by the sincere and gracious responses addressed to Megan and me.
Words are another medium I paint with, however I now find myself lost among the colors; don't know how to express what I'm feeling.
My heart is full with affection for you all.

That painting makes me want to grab for one and take a bite. Beautiful work Trisha!

Thanks! That's a great thing to say! I like part of it to be simple and painterly, and the main subjects more realistic.
