Thread: Paintings :)

Awesome.

Love the prop planes. (though I'm more of an axis boy).

Should try some Landie battle pics.

Fantastic art and subject matter!

Regarding left/right handedness and picking up on your "i can't write with my left to save my life" comment; it is entirely possible to retrain with the non preferred hand, best place to start is in the mind though. I play guitar both left and right handed, and can write reasonably well with my non-preferred hand (right). It's a matter of being very calm and accepting; realising it takes years for the neural pathways to form and get stronger and that the attitudes themselves (I can/I can't) are also neural pathways that need attention in the process.

My father also retrained after losing alot of function in an accident and was successful.

IMO it starts in the mind/attitude; be really positive and take it easy - avoid regret and any negative thoughts! You certainly have the talent shining through none the less. All the brain and body needs is time and the absence of any negative attitude.

I do believe a landy will get immortalized on canvas before long

yeah haha been working on my left handed writing for 5 years now. some days better than others. still looks like a toddler wrote it. but actually resembles letters where as before it looked like scribble. it is the turtle who won the race after all

good stuff for your dad. i know the hurdles that are faced with loss of function so awesome news he retrained

The paintings are amazing!

So many good threads I don't see... luckily saw this one in the road trip thread and have subscribed now.
