Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Epilepsy / April 2007Sofia and Painting
On an older thread (yesterday) you said you used to do large murals etc. I wondered if you're still able to do painting (regular size) ?? At one of the Toronto Canada Ep. Conventions, there was an auction of several paintings that one of the members had done of landscapes around southern Ontario, and those were excellent. They were Living Room size (24x30 inch /60x75cm), and might be easier to handle. I just wondered if pictures that were a more manageable size would still be therapeutic for you, and still be attractive for others in your area. That assumes too, though, that you wouldn't be affected by e.g. paint aroma (if there is any). Some types of Room Paint still give me auras, as does strong bleach or lemon scents. I don't know if oil paints have any of that to be concerned about or not.

[quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > still be therapeutic for you, and still be attractive for others in your > area. I only live in a very small one-bedroom flat nowadays with hubby, so paintwork would be far too messy for me. After giving up painting on large walls though, today I still love drawing and sketching at home on A3 drawing paper with professional colouring pencils to help my mind rest. Hubby even framed and hanged up lovely pencil sketches of his portrait, and my self-portrait that I did, and also a cute pic' of my late dog Harry because we both loved him so much, so they can be very therapeutic. If you go to my deviantArt gallery (URL at the bottom of this page), you'll find some pix that I've done of characters from Futurama, and from the author Terry Pratchett's "Discworld" fantasy novels - the gruesomely cute Igor on the first page of my gallery is also framed and on my wall. It was entered for last years best front programme 06 cover for the Discworld Convention 06, but at least I got it back framed!

You could very easily just buy a cheap A4 pad, a pencil, rubber, and sharpener and doodle about in your pad. Just doing cartoons in your pad of little things in your home, like your kids, or pets and colouring them in - a lot of my characters are completely sketched out from my imagination, and look nothing like who they're meant to be - every artist has their own style of drawing, so it doesn't have to be who it is!!
