Not every day will be the same with fibromyalgia. I was feeling strong this weekend, but since Monday I have had body aches, night sweats and shaky hands. Today seemed like a perfect day to tackle painting a canvas my mother gave me (from a previous painting she didn’t like - so I painted it white and haven’t touched it since.) I created this little mash-up to commemorate a night I had while vacationing in Seattle in October 2018. I experienced a light show event called “Borealis” which took place not too far from the Space Needle. I incorporated something sort of starry night-esque like the light show, because I figured the textures would help cover the previous painting that was applied to this canvas. The thought of painting anything linear with my shaky hands gave me second thoughts, but I took my sweet time and tried to breathe deeply as I painted an impression of the Space Needle.
