Renoir, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Perseverance

Written by DustyRose

22 October 2008

I have been greatly inspired by Renoir as an artist, but it was when I took an art history class that I learned that Renoir had also suffered from rheumatoid arthritis. The fact that this master of portraits felt my pain, no felt greater pain because he didn't have the medications that I have, made it impossible for me to say "I can't paint today". Every time I pick up my brush I think of Renoir and hope I can not only come close to his ability to paint but also his ability to persevere against rheumatoid arthritis. I have tried to maintain the same attitude about my life that he had; he inspires me to keep trying.
