We're still in a pandemic, and it's getting worse. Get your bivalent booster, avoid crowded events if possible, and fucking give a shit about disabled people. WE don't have the luxury of pretending COVID is over.

about being disabled and asking for help

the thing that has saved me is to fall into the #flow of #makingart. this #digitalpainting is about flow, being part of the art #blackandwhite #painting of the #love #gratitude and #bliss that move through me as i #create https://www.instagram.com/p/CPy_hxELU86/?utm_medium=tumblr

so very #grateful for this #digitalpainting i started while listening to #jazz tonight. The past few days have been harder than most physically and as #blissful as #makingart is for me, i needed to finish something. A #sungoddess dancing with the earth and moon, in the colors of a sunrise. #chronicillness #chronicpain #artasmeditation #artasprayer #allwillbewell https://www.instagram.com/p/COwiBKyL_qf/?igshid=1vwzg9v1ij573

#digitalpainting #moon #goddess enchanted with #music. another #blackandwhitepainting to try and save my eyes. i am not sure how close she is to complete… #jazz #gratitude it has been awhile since i have been able to listen to music so this week’s sweet gift of #jazzpiano has been just wonderful https://www.instagram.com/p/COjxcbarW6L/?igshid=14w974fi7nv4n

finishing up a #digitalpainting while listening to #jazzpaino She is a goddess, on fire with her own light and delighting in it. #makingart #painting #goddess #jazz #gratitude #joy @elewrockjazz thank you in particular. https://www.instagram.com/p/COjQvaOLvmM/?igshid=ms44zv7snfgf

painting while listening to @elewrockjazz tonight - i’ll have to finish this tomorrow when i listen to that glorious #jazzpiano again. This is a #goddess dancing,, set to be 16’x20’ heavy in gold and blue and purple highlight, but i am uncertain where the music begins and she will end. #inprogress #digitalart #digitalpainting just a side note of #gratitude What an amazing world we live in when i can be flat on my back from #chronicpain #painting on a tablet, fairly immobile, and simultaneously transported into the most beautiful world of music. Thank you. https://www.instagram.com/p/COeQf_4Lrrz/?igshid=k18ycibpzuvd
