Painting left handed has been quite a humbling experience. Timing is the most dramatic difference. Every move I make takes twice as long, from squeezing out additional paint to wiping out the brushes in between colors. I feel like I am watching a hand that doesn't belong to me moving the brush on the canvas willing it to go in the right direction. Soon I will have my right hand back and will be back to my normal speed and rhythm but until that time I will go with the flow.
