For example, when we get a couple inches of snow here in Colorado and the sun comes out later in the day, it gets extremely bright outside.  Even with sunglasses and a hat, this level of brightness is overwhelming to my nervous system.  I have trouble with my balance and walking, as well as finding words and speaking.  I get tired extremely quickly, which leads to stumbling and hitting my hands\/arms on doorways, and so I don&#8217;t do much outside on days like this.  I get up early and feed the horses before it&#8217;s really light out, and I do the afternoon feeding for them closer to evening as the sun is going down to avoid the brightest parts of the day.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In between these feedings, I now draw.  Today I found a beach scene I liked, with a sandy path headed towards the ocean through some tall grass.  I would love to be on a beach now instead of waking up at 1 deg F like this morning!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"667\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/braindamagedrawings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Beach-Path-667x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-255\" srcset=\"http:\/\/braindamagedrawings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Beach-Path-667x1024.jpg 667w, http:\/\/braindamagedrawings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Beach-Path-195x300.jpg 195w, http:\/\/braindamagedrawings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Beach-Path-768x1179.jpg 768w, http:\/\/braindamagedrawings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Beach-Path.jpg 912w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 667px) 100vw, 667px\" \/><figcaption>Beach Scene, oil pastels on pastel paper, 8&#215;12&#8243; $100<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I then found a painting of a border collie (my working dog of choice when I&#8217;m attending to my regular job training horses) that I tried to duplicate as well.
