OK, this is not a DAP painting, it is real, but is the context for everything I am now trying to achieve. I have MND and cannot hold oil pastels any more so DAP is VERY important to me and my life. I painted maybe a dozen oil pastels when 18 (having been told I was a dunce at art at school), maybe I'll share some one day. Then I worked as a academic/teacher for 35 years and painted about 10 pictures during this time - all oil pastel on paper or board. Then I became ill and I am trying to get to be able to paint like I did before while I can still use a mouse and keyboard, so that when we get to the 'eye gaze' control stage I already know what I am doing and have developed the tools to do it. Oil Pastel on board, ca. 1985, based on memories from ca. 1965. PC name would be Zimbabwe Idyll but the memories are 1965 and in 1965 I was 8 and it was Rhodesia and we were about to be expelled from the country I loved.
Anyhow, my daughter always says I use a 100 words when 4 would do, so here's the picture.
