I want my account to split focus equally between: • My own art • ME/CFS, Long Covid, Chronic Illness news & Advocacy • Sharing your incredible creations I struggle finding news and your art to share. Want a repost? Drop your links below! #MECFS #ChronicIllness #ArtShare #ArtistsOnBluesky

An informational graphic titled "CALLING ALL ARTISTS & CREATORS WITH CHRONIC ILLNESS & DISABILITY" in bold purple and teal text against a textured, light cream background. In the center, four interlocking rings feature icons representing disability and creativity: a person in a wheelchair, a brain, an awareness ribbon, and a hand holding a paintbrush. Below the icons, a bulleted list reads "DISABILITY ART," "CHRONIC ILLNESS NEWS," "YOUR STORIES," and "YOUR WORK." At the bottom, a teal banner reads "SHARE YOUR ART WITH ME TO BE FEATURED!"

Another one done before becoming severely ill with #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis. Its hard to remember but I think the main reference was from a magazine with some of my own added #MEcfs #PwME #LongCovid #painting #art #artwork #oilpainting #brentmichaelstudios #langleyartist #BCartist #canadianartist

A very colorful sunset with mountains in the background. Silhouette of trees and bushes in front and sun reflecting orange and reds across the water. Two young boys sitting on the shore looking out over the water and the sunset

The last #minttin I used acrylic paint but this one I'm using oils. What do you all think? Is it done? #MEcfs #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #longcovid #chronicillness #workinprogress #wip #painting #oilpainting #art #artwork #brentmichaelstudios #BMS #langleyartist #BCartist #canadianartist

I've seen a few artists do these type of #paintings so thought I'd take a crack at one. It turned out OK I think. #MEcfs #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #longcovid #chronicillness #painting #oilpainting #art #artwork #Mist #forest #brentmichaelstudios #BMS #langleyartist #BCartist #canadianartist

Another #oilpainting done before #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis. When I first started teaching myself to paint my sister in-law gave me a big stack of Our Canada magazines for ideas. This was one of them. #MEcfs #painting #art #artwork #brentmichaelstudios #BMS #langleyartist #BCartist #canadianartist

I came across a photo of this 6"x6" painted side #oilpainting done before becoming ill with #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis. I had forgot I painted it to be honest. I gave it away as soon as it was done. #MEcfs #painting #art #artwork #brentmichaelstudios #BMS #langleyartist #BCartist #canadianartist

A picture of a squirrel holding their head and the caption reading, "some people have brain farts" on top of photo and on the bottom of the photo it reads, "My brain completely shits it self."

Here is another 6"x6" #oilpainting with painted sides. I'd like to do a few of these for sale in the near future #MEcfs #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #longcovid #painting #art #artwork #minipainting #brentmichaelstudios #BMS #langleyartist #BCartist #canadianartist

Its hard to remember which #oilpaintings I've already shown. Here is another 6"x6" painted side piece. I'd like to do a few of these for sale in the near future #MEcfs #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #painting #art #artwork #brentmichaelstudios #BMS #langleyartist #BCartist #canadianartist

A 6"x6" oil painting with painted sides. A simple scene with mountains in the back ground, a lake in the mid ground and a tree and bushes in front. All done in midnight blue.

This #oilpainting I did for my son before #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis. I've always just painted what I want & give them away, but this one he asked for something specific & did my best to give him that #MEcfs #painting #art #artwork #brentmichaelstudios #BMS #langleyartist #BCartist #canadianartist

An oil painting of a near frozen winding stream, a cabin on the right, heading towards a bright yellow horizon in the distance. The colors are a mix of greens and yellows as well as snow.

A squirrel laying on a psychiatrist coach with the psychiatrist listening and taking notes in a chair. The squirrel is saying, "When I learned, 'You are what you eat', I realized I was nuts.

Another #oilpainting started before I got #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis. It was to be my first try at a portrait & got as far as blocking in basic colors. Alot of concentration to finish this one & thats not working too great for me these days...:) One day... #WIP #painting #BCartist #canadianartist

Brent Forman 🇨🇦@joeblow604· Jun 7

A fellow mild #MEcfs person made a comment on my description of Walk with ME claiming it wasn't 'happy' enough. I told them its my truth, my reality, & and couldn't describe any other way. They erased the comment and posted this on their page. I feel a little offended...Thoughts? #pwME #severeME

Brent Forman 🇨🇦@joeblow604· May 29

This #oilpainting doesn't get shown too often. Not sure why. Why the guy on the pier looks a bit like a cowboy I don't know either....It just turned out that way...:) #MEcfs #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #painting #art #artwork #brentmichaelstudios #BMS #langleyartist #BCartist #canadianartist

Brent Forman 🇨🇦@joeblow604· May 24

This #oilpainting was done before I became sick with #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis. The reference picture was from Our Canada magazine. Interestingly I have since seen other artist do their version of this #MEcfs #painting #art #artwork #brentmichaelstudios #BMS #langleyartist #BCartist #canadianartist

Brent Forman 🇨🇦@joeblow604· May 9

I usually hate my #paintings when done. All I see are the flaws and mistakes. This one is different, I actually like it. #MEcfs #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #longcovid #chronicillness #painting #oilpainting #art #artwork #brentmichaelstudios #BMS #langleyartist #BCartist #canadianartist

Oil painting of a lake and mountain scene.

I'm suppose to be completing all unfinished #WIP this year. So what do I do instead? I start 2 new ones. At least one of those is finished...I think. #MEcfs #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #longcovid #chronicillness #painting #oilpainting #art #artwork #brentmichaelstudios #BMS #langleyartist #BCartist

Another #oilpainting done before #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis. I hated this one so much it went in the garbage...but my son rescued it and hung it in his room. He's on his own now but the painting remains #MEcfs #longcovid #chronicillness #painting #art #brentmichaelstudios #langleyartist #BCartist

From 2018 - #FUmyalgicE - I don't think it was everyone's favorite at the time but certainly was mine. Sometimes you just got to make your feelings known. #LifewithME #MEcfs #MEawareness #pwME #pwLC #longcovid #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #bms #brentmichaelstudios #art

An awareness graphic titled #FUmyalgicE. Underneath is a lawn with a shadow of a tree and a person (ME) giving the middle finger directed at MEcfs.

Another #WIP ...... I started this #oilpainting years ago while sick with #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis. I feel it needs more, the person I'm giving it to thinks its done. What do you think? #MEcfs #longcovid #chronicillness #painting #art #artwork #brentmichaelstudios #BMS #langleyartist #BCartist

Brent Forman 🇨🇦@joeblow604· Mar 7

A Work in Progress. This 18x36 #oilpainting, the follow-up to 'Wandering Man' shown recently, has been on hold for over 14 yrs due to #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis Maybe one day I'll finish...:) #MEcfs #longcovid #chronicillness #painting #art #artwork #brentmichaelstudios #BMS #langleyartist #BCartist

Here is the reference photo I used from along the #fraserriver in #langleyBC. The path is train tracks in real life.

'Wandering Man' Another #oilpainting done before #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis & one of a few thats named. A friend named it 'Wondering Man' but I misheard Wander & eventually that stuck instead #MEcfs #longcovid #chronicillness #painting #art #artwork #brentmichaelstudios #BMS #langleyartist #BCartist
