inspired by Andrew Wyeth.
Story behind the original picture: The woman in the painting is Anna Christina Olson. Anna had a degenerative muscular disorder, Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease, which meant that she had not been able to walk since she was a young child. She was firmly against using a wheelchair and so she would crawl everywhere.
Thank you for the backstory on this. My father has CMT, not many people have heard of it and when you say in out in full they are like "weird name" (named after the doctors/scientists that discovered it). My father is now 86 and his Consulatnat is always amazed at how well he just gets on with life and battles this disorder. All his sisters had it too. I have been tested but fortunatley for me I do not carry the gene which means my daughter will not develop it either. My poor old brother refuses to be tested so will will see if any symtoms develop in time.
I always love the sentiments that you put into your pictures
