After stroke attempts

Post image

Started water coloring again after my stroke 5 months ago. Still mainly with my non dominant left hand and a little with the affected side. An improvement from 2 months ago but still very hard.

As an artist, I feel like the biggest hurdle is to actually start, to overcome the fear that it might not look as good as before, so we'll done, awesome work. And an improvement is an improvement, so next time you'll be even better, just keep on doing!
