Living with Chronic Illness and Pain
Judith Mary Rose

The picture represents the isolation and imprisonment those of us with chronic pain and chronic illness feel. We see and feel what the outside world is offering, but we are tied to our homes and our diseases. We are often unable to take part in any activities outside our sickroom. This leaves us feeling sad, depressed, hopeless and helpless.

The original painting is a watercolor on watercolor paper. It is 14 inches long by 11 inches wide.

The artist lives in Sonoma, California.
