Background and Video Below |
I started painting 4 years ago around the age of 41. I had wanted to encourage my son to paint thinking he may have some artistic abilities from his artistic Algerian father. Now I had thought that although I was always a creative type in the realms of writing, interior design or the Eastern arts, I never thought of myself as much of a painter. Most of my life I couldn't have drawn even a stick figure. However, I also discovered this year that I have chronic Lyme disease from a tick bite a few years ago. I know how the Lyme bacteria affects nearly every aspect of a person's health, but also...their brain. Where I had issues with brain fog and concentration difficulties with my writing with the Lyme, I found I was soothed or relaxed more post painting. Now I do it religiously every day, almost as a form of meditation. Anything that you cN do on the Left side of your brain creatively will enhance the Pleasure side as well where sex and love occur in our brains!
