I just finished this little acrylic painting, ‘Bathed in Sunlight’.

Today's must watch, for the importance of the message, and to admire Cadwalladr's bravery: www.ted.com/talks/carole...

Just finished this little acrylic painting of friends, ‘Margie & Shannon’. Before Parkinson’s I’d paint for hours and on huge canvases. But hand & arm have grown weak & my hand sometimes shakes… but I can still paint…it just takes 3x as much time & I can only manage to paint on tiny canvases.

Thank you @charlieangus104.bsky.social for standing up to the ‘3 Amigos’

Taking a break from go go go to slow slow slow & working on a little acrylic.

Me donating my body to science while alive. From this particular study I became an addict to working out. Now, after recent surgery, I’m delighted to announce I’m again regularly riding my spinning bike. Hurray!

Not all with PD go through the 5 stages of PD - originally designed by Hoehn & Yahr for doctors to evaluate how far the disease has advanced. We don’t all fit medical textbook definitions. @parkinsonseurope.bsky.social @parkinsoncanada.bsky.social @parkinsons.org.uk @parkinsondotorg.bsky.social

I’m most honoured to be mentioned in this article by Joy Struthers. Happy International Women’s Day
