Charcoal and white chalk on paper.
My observations of the serious expression that many of us with Parkinson’s Disease live with. Followed by a few written thoughts of daily frustrations.
As I stuggle to sign my name – Tell them,
Misunderstood as I mumble and slur – Tell them,
When I stumble in street the – Tell them again.
Tell them No, He’s not been drinking.
Tell them, Dave’s got Parkinson’s.

I think your portrait is not only really well done but your personality comes through very strongly. I think that is so hard to do, give a portrait that radiation of emotion. And your words gave me pause to stop and think of things from your perspective. And it reminds me to do so for all people I meet. Thank you. I very much admire all your work.

Thank you so much Claudia, I am pleased an emotional intensity radiated from the image. The portrait was drawn quicky usimg minimal materials. It is part of a self imposed routine that I have commited to, as a way of keeping a check on hand eye coordination. Parkinson’s has destroyed my handwriting but not yet affected my drawing abilities, thankfully.
