As mentioned before I've only been able to do 5 #oilpaintings in the 13 yrs I've been sick with #myalgicencephalomyelitis. Here's another one of them. A #minipainting. I don't remember if I named it & gave it away as I do most. #MEcfs #pwME #pwLC #longcovid #art #BCArtist

Another 6”x6” #oilpainting, with painted sides, done before becoming ill with #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis. I used a friends profile photo on Facebook to surprise him with a #painting. #art #artwork #MEcfs #longcovid #fishing #lakes #artist #canadianartist #bcartist #BMS #BrentMichaelStudios

I've only been able to do 5 #oilpaintings in the 13 yrs I've been sick with #myalgicencephalomyelitis. Here are 2 of them done for 2 twin boys. I was so sick at the time & never thought I'd see them again. Turns out, 5 yrs later they're now my step sons #MEcfs #pwME #pwLC #longcovid #art #BCArtist

From 2018 #meawareness month. Its not the most artistic of the bunch but has special meaning for me. This pretty much was my main view for around 8 years due to severe #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis. I was 90lbs & mostly bedbound #MEcfs #pwME #pwLC #longcovid #art #BMS #BrentMichaelStudios

Another from 2018 - Living with #MEcfs can feel like prison. Isolated, no chance of parole, watching your life fall apart & not able to participate, all the while your jailer putting enough poison in your food to make you sick, not enough to kill you. #lifewithME #pwME #pwLC #MEawareness #art #BMS

One of those days #PwME #myalgicencephalomyelitis #MEcfs

'Wandering Man' Another #oilpainting done before #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis & one of a few thats named. A friend named it 'Wondering Man' but I misheard Wander & eventually that stuck instead #MEcfs #longcovid #chronicillness #painting #art #artwork #brentmichaelstudios #BMS #langleyartist #BCartist

We have finally finished updating our online art gallery into a dark theme! A Quiet Storm showcases art made by people who have experienced severe ME/CFS. Our full statement is below. www.aquietstorm.me #MECFS #pwME #Art #OnlineArtGallery

From 2018 - This one I called Rest with ME, only with #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis there is no rest. EVER. The symptoms don't stop day or night. Its hard to sleep and when you do its not refreshing. #LifewithME #MEcfs #MEawareness #pwME #pwLC #longcovid #bms #brentmichaelstudios #art

Something I have experimented with off and on. #micropaintings. They are 5mm x 5mm. The photo of a period and ballpoint pen tip give an idea of its size. I'd like to develop it further but #MEcfs has its own ideas #art #painting #oilpainting #artist #bcartist #canadianartist #pwME #pwLC #longcovid

Another one done before becoming severely ill with #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis. Its hard to remember but I think the main reference was from a magazine with some of my own added #MEcfs #PwME #LongCovid #painting #art #artwork #oilpainting #brentmichaelstudios #langleyartist #BCartist #canadianartist

The last #minttin I used acrylic paint but this one I'm using oils. What do you all think? Is it done? #MEcfs #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #longcovid #chronicillness #workinprogress #wip #painting #oilpainting #art #artwork #brentmichaelstudios #BMS #langleyartist #BCartist #canadianartist

I've seen a few artists do these type of #paintings so thought I'd take a crack at one. It turned out OK I think. #MEcfs #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #longcovid #chronicillness #painting #oilpainting #art #artwork #Mist #forest #brentmichaelstudios #BMS #langleyartist #BCartist #canadianartist

1st attempts at painting in the style of Dufy - a bit hit & miss but cropping down to parts I like makes me happier with my efforts. A reminder to focus on the pleasurable & the glimmers of hope among the imperfect brushstrokes of a chronically ill life. 🌸 🎨 🌼 #mecfs #chronicillness #art #flowers

For the next few weeks I’ll share stories from my photo project about #MECFS Before Hillary became ill she was an entrepreneur, running companies, sponsoring motor racing, making music and living a full life. Updates on exhibition & book: tinyurl.com/58khuv8z #MEAwareness #DocumentaryPhotography

Another #oilpainting done before #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis. When I first started teaching myself to paint my sister in-law gave me a big stack of Our Canada magazines for ideas. This was one of them. #MEcfs #painting #art #artwork #brentmichaelstudios #BMS #langleyartist #BCartist #canadianartist

I came across a photo of this 6"x6" painted side #oilpainting done before becoming ill with #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis. I had forgot I painted it to be honest. I gave it away as soon as it was done. #MEcfs #painting #art #artwork #brentmichaelstudios #BMS #langleyartist #BCartist #canadianartist

"Stalking" Acrylics on Clayboard Tigers are one of my favorite animals This one is only 5"×7" but it took forever because I scratched in each hair individually. I also have joint issues, so I can only work in short stints. I'm proud of myself for completing it, though! #sciart #disabledartist

Here is another 6"x6" #oilpainting with painted sides. I'd like to do a few of these for sale in the near future #MEcfs #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #longcovid #painting #art #artwork #minipainting #brentmichaelstudios #BMS #langleyartist #BCartist #canadianartist

This is me! I am posting in solidarity with all that are chronically ill, have mental or physical (or both) disabilities, and just want to CREATE! I have 9 diagnosed chronic illnesses. I am so grateful for my ART. It heals. #creativityheals #art #artjourney #artheals #healing #chronicillness

This #oilpainting I did for my son before #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis. I've always just painted what I want & give them away, but this one he asked for something specific & did my best to give him that #MEcfs #painting #art #artwork #brentmichaelstudios #BMS #langleyartist #BCartist #canadianartist
