Funny story: about when I was painting one of those flower paintings, it was a 36” x 48” canvas, which required a lot of stretching and as I was in my 50’s when I painted it and had some arthritic issues at the time. I turned the painting upside down to work at the top if it and save myself stretching and hurting. I overheard an art teacher telling a group of art students that, ‘Kathy Shell, paints upside down, because she sees the world that way’.

 Lol J 
That is how, ‘myths’ about artists, begin, someone assumes instead of asks.

I turned and informed the class of art students, that 'I painted that way because after 50 years of painting like this, (and I demonstrated stretching up to the top of the canvas,) I had repetition strain injury'. I was a candidate to learn a little more about natural anti inflammatory and joint care  jointsupplementreviews.net. as well as action modification. 

I still modify my movements, but with exercises, in my mid sixties I am free from the joint ain I had in my fifties though I still would not strain to paint high above my head for hours when I can move the canvas closer to my reach and if that means a tall canvas is painted upside down, then that’s how I will work.
