Painting - Netherlands

I started painting four years after my stroke. I was
a volunteer and board member in the patient as-
sociation called hersenletsel.nl (which is Dutch for
brain injury) and I started painting to empty my
mind. I just started with nothing and I was my own
teacher!

I really love happy and colorful pictures. The picture
attached is my latest work.
It gives me a lot of pleasure that my paintings bring
a smile on people’s faces, then I am satisfied and
that makes me happy, because I like to see people
smile.....

Even when you’ve had a stroke life is too good to
be sad! So smile and live your life!!!
