I have been painting for most of my life (I'm 68) but never had the time to do it full time. Now that I'm not working I have so much more time to devote to painting. I have, however, developed a tremor (intention tremor) which is getting worse. I have been doing small detailed paintings but I just can't do it anymore. I'm trying to find a style, develop a style that will work with a shaky hand. Its hard to change your style. I have tried abstract but find there is so much more to it than just flinging paint at a canvas.
I am desperate for something that will lessen the tremors. I am investigating Deep brain stimulation. It may not work for me. I can't drink wine to calm myself. Is there medical marijuana that would work for a tremor? I will not give up painting.
In regard to a previous post by Miz Barbie, I have found that by thinking about my left hand my right hand relaxes more.
any thoughts?
