Long COVID drained me of energy recently, but I did manage these two small drawings over the last few weeks. The 1st is 12”x9” and the 2nd is a tiny 4”x4”. #longcovid #fatigue #chronicillness #art #drawing #doodles #doodling #artheals #artwork #markers #colorful #create

Just another day in #longcovid paradise. 🤦🏻‍♀️

This 9”x12” drawing took four nights to create. I don’t think I’ll want to draw a circle again any time soon. #doodles #doodling #doodleart #zendoodle #zentangle #art #artwork #drawing #markers #artheals #arttherapy

Just spoke with my CDC sources They said a new COVID-19 wave is hitting NYC and LA. Cases up~20% this week expected to rise further over the next month. Exactly 4 months since the January 20 peak, the virus is resurging.

Enjoying more line work recently. 9”x12” Bristol paper & 4”x4” paper tile, both w/ alcohol markers and Pentel pen. #doodles #doodling #doodleart #doodleartwork #arttherapy #artheals #drawing #zendoodle #geometricart #neurographicart #drawing #colorful

6”x6” abstract sunrise doodle. #doodles #doodling #zendoodle #doodledrawing #art #artwork #drawing #artheals #arttherapy

Blue, green & purple - another favorite color combo. #doodles #doodling #doodleart #zendoodle #drawing #artwork #art #colorful #colorfulart #artheals #arttherapy

Having fun with my favorite color - orange. #doodles #doodling #doodler #drawing #art #zendoodle #artwork #orange #colorful #artheals #arttherapy

Any guesses on what inspired this 6”x6” drawing? Created with alcohol markers and Pentel .01 pen. #drawing #doodling #doodles #doodleart #zendoodle #artwork #artheals #arttherapy #art #colorful

6”x6” artist tile with Prismacolor markers. #drawing #doodling #doodles #doodleart #art #artwork #zendoodle #artheals #arttherapy #colorful #create

Tiny 3”x3” drawing using alcohol markers. #doodling #doodles #drawing #zendoodle #art #artwork #artheals #arttherapy #colorful

This is frustrating to see as I literally just had a brain MRI w/ contrast yesterday & it showed no inflammation. I was hoping it would reveal inflammation as the reason for my #longCOVID brain fog & cognitive decline.

6”x6” artist tile with Prismacolor markers. I’ll confess, this is one of my faves from my recent doodles. #doodling #doodles #doodleart #zendoodle #drawing #art #artwork #artheals #arttherapy #colorful

This is such a good resource for long covid. Not a cure-all, but some really helpful context and background from a medical expert who actively works in Long Covid clinics. www.longcoviddoctor.com

Looks like a great clinical guide to managing long covid and ME/CFS. batemanhornecenter.org/wp-content/u...

Every voice and every effort that brings visibility, urgency, and support for all those impacted by ME/CFS and post-infectious associated conditions is vital. @meactnet.bsky.social #MillionsMissing #MECFS #LongCOVID

Just love creating little doodle drawings. #doodles #doodleart #art #artwork #drawing #markers #create #doodling #artheals #arttherapy

Simple little 3.5”x3.5” doodle. It’s what happens when I’m in a long COVID “crash” and have no energy but am still driven to draw something. #doodles #doodling #doodleart #drawing #longcovid #artheals #arttherapy #art #artwork

"“We’re not taking any steps to reduce the risks of a nationwide epidemic,” he said in an interview with NY1, saying he is alarmed by the latest data on people diagnosed with long COVID and the lack of awareness of what seems to be happening.". ny1.com/nyc/all-boro...

Just doodling. #doodles #doodleart #doodledrawing #drawing #art #artwork #artheals #arttherapy #markers

More random #doodles from the last couple of days. Just love playing with color. #doodling #drawing #artwork #art #colorful #artheals #arttherapy #markers #abstract

My first little art project with my new toy - #Chromatek watercolor pens. Anyone else splurge on art supplies when in a PEM crash? Nice having something to look forward to. #watercolor #doodles #doodling #doodleart #drawing #art #artwork #artheals #arttherapy #longcovid #chronicillness #pem

Simple and bright 6”x6” paper tile with alcohol markers and .02 Staedtler pen. Wasn’t feeling too great today & this was the only drawing I managed to do tonight, so I chose colors that evoke joy for me. #doodling #drawing #doodleart #artheals #arttherapy #zendoodle #doodler #colorfulart #art

Some favorite recent doodles. Have been in a debilitating “crash” the last week and seems the only activity my brain tolerates well is drawing. #longcovid #pem #pots #doodles #doodling #doodleart #drawing #artheals #arttherapy #fatigue #mecfs #zendoodle #colorful #art #artwork

“Sunny” little 4”x4” paper tile with alcohol markers and .01 Pentel Pointliner. 😀 #doodles #doodling #doodleart #doodledrawing #drawing #art #artwork #artheals #arttherapy

More colorful #doodles. Long COVID insomnia provides many extra hours for drawing. #drawing #doodling #doodleart #zendoodle #longcovid #artheals #arttherapy #colorful #art #artwork

Shiny pebbles. 😀 6”x6” alcohol marker and Pentel Pointliner on paper tile. #drawing #doodles #doodling #doodleart #art #artwork #zendoodle #zentangle #colorful #artheals #arttherapy

Some recent #doodles. Drawing is the one thing that makes the isolation of long COVID and POTS bearable. #drawing #doodleart #zendoodle #artwork #artheals #artherapy #longcovid #pots #dysautonomia

Simple but satisfying. When my #longCOVID & #POTS symptoms flare, working on little 3”x3” paper tiles are the perfect distraction. #doodles #doodling #drawing #zentangle #artwork #artheals #arttherapy

This one took pretty much all day yesterday (minus the time my body imposed a #longcovid induced “nap” from ~ 5:15pm - 8pm). It’s 9”x12” on Bristol paper with #Pentel Pointliner pens and alcohol #markers. #doodles #drawing #doodling #art #artwork #artheals #arttherapy #lineart #geometricart

Doodling away… #doodles #doodleart #zentangle #drawing #artwork #markers #abstractart #colorful

“Birds of a Feather” - 9”x12” Bristol paper with Pentel Pointliner and alcohol marker. Inspired by the work/process of @mattlacross (Instagram) who uses music as a creative catalyst for his single-line drawings. #doodleart #arttherapy #drawing #artheals #art #artwork #lineart #music #doodles

In case you needed a reminder. (Original drawing - 3.5”x3.5” art tile using alcohol markers and fine tip black pen.) #chronicillness #longcovid #pots #mecfs #mcas #dysautonomia #artheals #arttherapy

This little 3.5”x3.5” piece is almost as mind-bending as my long COVID and POTS. 😛 #doodles #doodling #doodleart #drawing #longcovid #pots #chronicillness #artheals #arttherapy #zendoodle #art #artwork

“Laundry Day” - 4”x4” paper tile created with Staedtler fine tip pen and Sharpies. I’m sure many of us living with #longcovid, #POTS, #ME/CFS or other #chronicillnesses feel like these shapes - hung out to dry. #doodles #doodling #doodleart #colorful #drawing #zendoodle #artheals #arttherapy

Some favorite little 3”x3” #doodles from the last couple of days. Alcohol markers, Sharpies and Staedtler fine liners on 300gm artist tiles. #drawing #doodling #zendoodle #zentangle #tinyart #abstract #art #artwork #arttherapy #artheals

Finding ways to keep your spirits up while living every day with the rollercoaster that is chronic illness isn’t always easy. But when I wrap up a cheerful, colorful piece like this, it definitely helps. #longcovid #artheals #pots #arttherapy #doodleart #doodling #colorfulart #chronicillness

Decided to attempt an #abstract #landscape in this style. This one is 6”x6” and was created with a Staedtler fine tip pen and alcohol #markers. #drawing #art #artwork #linedrawing #doodling #doodleart #artheals #arttherapy #colorful

I can’t get enough of these simple little line drawings. I want to create hundreds of them and cover a wall somewhere. 😀 Drawing every night is my escape from #longcovid and #pots. And at just 3”x3”, these don’t take much energy. #drawing #artwork #doodling #doodleart #artheals #arthterapy #art

Practicing my line work. Loving my new Staedtler black pens. And the trusty #sharpies are always nice, too. #drawing #doodling #doodleart #geometricart #linework #colorful #markers #arttherapy #artheals #art #artwork #sharpie

Favorite #doodles from the last 24 hours. #LongCOVID and #POTS altered my life but I won’t let them alter my spirit. I’ll keep finding joy in colors, shapes and creating. #doodling #drawing #artheals #arttherapy #zendoodle #art #artwork #doodleart #colorful #create #zentangle

Is it possible to be addicted to #doodling? Asking for a friend. #zentangle #doodleart #drawing #create #art #artwork #colorful #arttherapy #artheals

Latest #zentangle doodles. Creating these give my mind a brief break from remembering how much my life has changed since contracting #longcovid and #POTS. Thank goodness for #art! #doodling #doodleart #arttherapy #artheals #drawing #artwork #create #colorful

First attempt at #Zentangle #balloons. 😀 Far from perfect but they make me smile. #artheals #arttherapy #drawing #doodles #doodling #doodleart #doodledrawing #balloonart #colorful #create #art #artwork
