I like this picture of this huge painting being installed ( A crew installing Helen Frankenthaler’s painting Guiding Red, 1977… in the mezzanine of World Trade Center II." (aaa.si.edu)). I can't imagine painting anything that big. It's also a good image of my struggles to paint anything at all!
I have yet to get anywhere (I can hear the protests....) with my oils but I’m keeping going. Maybe that's an analogy for everything else as it feels like I’m not getting anywhere with my lungs either. I’ve been looking at Robert Motherwell pictures.

Hoping for a better week .....
