Sick and Tired of being Sick and Tired - Online Studio Sale . . . 30% OFF

Following a radical mastoidectomy operation 18 months ago to remove a cholesteatoma from my right middle ear I have suffered bouts of vertigo and dizziness. These episodes, which continually interrupted my work, would eventually subside and I would return to near normal and get back to the easel.

At the end of July I had two particularly nasty vertigo attacks and this time the dizziness didn’t go away, it hung around in waves of fluctuating intensity joined by its new found friends – nausea, tinnitus, brain fog, balance difficulty and fatigue. This continued for 3 months unabated. It was totally debilitating.

After numerous visits to the GP and eventually a referral back to my consultant surgeon an MRI scan revealed no abnormalities. It is therefore most likely that the root of my problem is a chronic viral infection which in itself doesn’t sound too dramatic does it? But the past three months have been hell. I have found it difficult to function let alone paint. Time and again I would get to the easel in an attempt to get at least something done but within a short time my head would be spinning and wave of nausea and fatigue would engulf me.

As a result of all this malarkey I have fallen behind somewhat. Besides getting zero work done I had to cancel my Autumn Open Studios Exhibition scheduled for the last week of October. So to keep the wolf from the door I am having an online studio sale. Beginning today I will post some of my paintings discounted by 30% for the next couple of weeks. 

Here is today's (bargain) painting:

And Framed . . . Lovely!
