Rebecca Clark-Smith – Cedar Park, TX

I am 63 and have painted since my teens. To better understand my current disability, I type on my keyboard with 1 finger, 1 hand. And I do not leave home without my wheelchair. MS has adversely effected my painting the last several years. For years, art was communication, usually getting the uglies out. I have many moody, lifeless landscapes with bare trees, vases with dried weeds, and abstracts. This continues into my difficult MS-hand years. I felt elated when I could clean brushes while standing. I have looked up tips for painting with tremors. I experiment with paint application styles since mine must change.
