I was diagnosed with heart failure in 2018. With my mobility being limited. Painting is a way for me to express myself with no limitations.

I love painting with acrylic paint. Some of my work is if places I've never been or animals I've never actually seen. I try to let my imagination create an image of what I see when I think of that place or animal. I also like to restore old broken art pieces, and repurpose misc things to create art.
Where do you find inspiration?The earth gives me all the ideas I could ever need to paint. Nature is always right outside the door.
What would you do with $25,000?I live in a rural area where water is not provided. My well went dry over a year ago so I have had to transport water every day for general use. It is very expensive to have a new well drilled and I am disabled. My income is limited. So it would be a real blessing to get a new well drilled, leaving just enough to replenish my art supplies, and possibly take a vacation with my children.
