sometimes i have trouble with vertigo.
trouble standing up.
trouble with the room seemingly spinning around.
trouble not getting sick to my stomach as a result.
these bizarre episodes are unpredictable and vary in duration.
on the second day of a month long painting residency
at the vermont studio center i had a vertigo episode that lasted six hours.
later that day i decided to paint what it feels like in the throws of vertigo when the walls become the ceiling and the mirror on the wall seems to be like a carpet on the floor.
actually it just keeps moving round and round.

Good take on the topic.
wow, that must be a crazy feeling. i really like the upper right hand portion of this, with the diagonal and contrasting colors and patterns
great painting!
Wow! How awful the vertigo must be but what a beautiful painting. It makes me miss oil painting--it's so juicy and rich. I've had a migraine all day today (finally about gone) and so I can relate a bit to the feeling--nausea and light sensitivity and dizziness are all part of it.
