- Ok my friends... This video is inspired by a condition that I have been dealing with for over 2 decades... Migraine. This affliction literally brings me to my knees and puts me out of commission for days sometimes. Which is exactly what happened for two days before filming this video. So, the plan for this video changed. I decided to just go with it and turn something painful into something positive and use it for a creative purpose.
I hope you enjoy it!!!

“Consider the uses of adversity” does pretty well describe what you’ve done here! Take a negative situation and make a painting out of it! Bravo!
Yes, unfortunately I can identify. You are extremely talented, not just your painting but also the way you convey your subject matter. Thx for sharing your creativity!
Out of nowhere I decided to search for “migraine painting”, and I got exactly that. I’m lucky enough to only have migraines once every few months, but when it’s on, this eye is exactly how I feel. The acrylic pour fits really well with how the aura looks and feels in the moment.
I'm so glad you think so! It's an affliction I suffer from regularly and can be incapacitating. I'm sorry you have migraines. It's no fun.
@@lydiabroderick867 I’d say something insightful, but I can’t think of anything, so I’ll just thank you for the response :)
And once again for the painting
An incredible painting. It’s so expressive I can feel that pain. What a great idea to transfer the migraine to a visual element of how a migraine must feel. Great eyeballs of fire 😊
Healing thoughts to you.
Your creative process is really something else. Just great stuff. Minus the migraines, of course 😬
It seems blending humor, pain, & artistry makes for awesome paintings!
Thank you Deano! The migraines suck, but I do think I sometimes draw inspiration from them. 💖💖
Waw, I couldn´t imagine myself painting during my migraine attacks. I definitely want an ice helm. Very nice and inspirational work! Greets from Mexico.
Thank you!!!
Amazing and definitely accurate to the pain I have suffered. Thank you😊
As a fellow artist and migraineur, this is 💯 spot on. I also get vertigo and blind spots. Fun stuff. Glad your ice cap helps a bit. ❤
I have one of those ice hats, they are the best!
Love the painting!
You have a wonderful imagination sweetheart. I enjoy watching you paint and talk.❤😊
Thank you!!!❤
Hi Lydia, I just found your channel and you really inspired me! Just fyi ...I had migraines of and on for years until I had to stop eating peanuts and peanut butter and wow!! Never had another migraine again! Its worth a try! I hope it helps! God bless you!
Hey there! Thank you so much!❤❤❤
Amaziiing❤❤❤❤
I am suffering of hormonel migraine 2 weeks every month for my whole life. I paint to. Love following u ❤
I'm sorry you suffer as well. They can be brutal. Sending you some good vibes and ❤❤❤ What do you enjoy painting most?😊
Very creative 👍🏻
This is great. I’m just getting over a migraine- not fun! This one was so bad I wound up tipping over and falling. I feel the pain of feeling like your eye will pop out of your head. Horrible. You have captured that feeling in this painting for sure
wow!
I can relate to that! Stunning piece. 💖
Thank you Jane! I am however sorry that you can relate! It's unfortunate how many do! We need a cure!❤
You are such a fabulous artist xx
Thank you!!!❤
One of my favorites. Why do you use oil glazes? Have ever tried acrylic glazes? I love you and your work. All the comedy at the end are very true about migraines. So glad Karen sent me over.
Hi there!!! Thank you so much! I use oil glazes because 1) they dry slower which gives me more time to work with them 2) they have tremendous color saturation.☺ Acrylic glazes work alright, but it's just a personal preference.
@@lydiabroderick867 I totally agree. I paint in both and the colors with oil are so much more brilliant. I wanted to know because the first thing I thought when I so acrylic pouring was how could I make this more. I haven't done my first pour but you gave me so much inspiration
That’s horrible; I’m so sorry. 🙏🏻👀🙏🏻 The art piece is fabulous. ♥️
Thank you❤❤❤
I’m familiar with the feeling of my eyes being pushed out of my head. I can sympathize with you as a fellow sufferer of migraines. Believe it or not migraines are why I now live in the north. My migraines are primarily caused by barometric changes in the weather. When a weather system moves in, especially a storm system, the barometric pressure drops. In the summer when we would get big thunderstorms the barometric pressure drops like a rock. This is when my worst migraines would occur. Not only did my head feel like it was going to explode but I began getting stroke like symptoms with them. The whole right side of my body stops working, the right side of my face droops, etc. The first time this happened I was in my mid twenties and I was driving. I ended up driving off the road. It scared the crap out of me as I am a nurse and I really thought I’d had a stroke. Long story short this was eventually traced to my migraines. It got worse and worse. Nobody knew what to do. One day I was talking to a fellow nurse who worked up north. They almost never have thunderstorms up north and in the winter when the snow storms blow in the pressure drops are gradual and slight. So I moved north. Now I rarely get migraines, maybe one or two a year, and I’m ecstatic about that. An equitable trade for the inconveniences to living so far north in my opinion. Have you ever tried Botox treatments for your migraines? Here in Canada a neurologist injects it into your scalp at certain points. It works quite well for most people but can be expensive.
That sounds awful. Were they hemiplegic migraines? That would terrify me if it happened. I thankfully don't suffer with those symptoms. I do get aura in the form of a flashing prism like thing in one eye before the pain starts. Mine are triggered by hormones. I started getting them when I was a teenager... They were shorter in duration back then, but after I had my son, they steadily got worse. Now that I'm in my forties I get these 36-72 hour migraines with a one day break before the next one starts. It's like clockwork every 3 weeks.
@@lydiabroderick867 Every three weeks? That’s awful. Yes my migraines are hemiplegic. They start with my vision flashing like a strobe light and go for there. They fortunately don’t last more than 24 hours. I used to get them every 2 weeks or so but since moving up here I only get them a couple of times a year when winter first starts.
❤❤❤
I love ❤️ your eye 👁! That came out kinda weird, huh? 😅 Anyway…wonderful painting as always Lydia 🥰. Chronic pain sits with me too (arthritis for me-yay!) and there’s something wonderful about using that to create something beautiful. I’m not sure how my poetry translates some of that emotion, but…oh! By the way: “Choke on my gristle.” Oddly the funniest line I’ve heard on a TH-cam video 😊.
Hey there, i’m not a migraine patient but i have clusterheadaches. It was interessting how you gave shape to your migraine. Maybee _you can make an painting with withe and blue’s, that’s how i feel the cluster pain, like ice.
I want to thank you for sharing your paintings and giving usefully advice.
Parden my english.
Hi there!!! Thank you! I hear that cluster headaches are pretty awful... I'm sorry you suffer from them. Your description of them being like ice is intriguing though. Blues would definitely work for that! ❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing your experience with migraines. My two older sisters and I suffer from the damndable things
Well I’m feeling like a stalker. I promise I’m not. I suffer with migraines and tried to do an acrylic pour to show what it’s like. Another amazing piece.
Thank you so much!!! Do you get the migraine aura too?
@@lydiabroderick867 yes! I tried to show what an aura looks like. I will share the video link.
Here is the video th-cam.com/video/gfqWtppy2uI/w-d-xo.html
Very nice
I will be happy if you see my paintings that I draw on pieces of rock
👍
M-eye!!! Wh-eye can it seem be so str-eye-kinky difficult to be so spectacular !?)
I think you look groovy ❤😊
Try Maxalt. My headaches were frequent and long lasting. Maxalt helped give me a new life. Mine were right side only but nasty.
Thank you Elizabeth! I will check that out!❤
Omg. The end is perfect. That is me with a migraine exactly. I must get an ice helmet. Do you have any recommendations for oil paints and or mediums that help you avoid migraines? I find the fumes often make it worse. Thanks so much for your post. I need a flaming eyeball t shirt.
Lydia, my sister in law is also working with oil paints without a mask and she got sick. fitdt with migraines and then fibromialgia... now she paints with a musk on... maybe tou can do kinsiology to test your muscles? You are an amazing artist and a fun human being. YPI DESERVE FEELING GREAT! I totaly admire you as an artist. much love to you.
Thank you... I get hormonal migraines and have gotten them for almost 30 years long before I started oil painting. I use a non-toxic thinner made from Orange peel to avoid the fumes associated with oil painting. The other stuff will do some nasty things to people. I avoid it at all cost. Oil pant itself can contain heavy metals and you don't want to get it on your skin because it can build up in the body. I'm glad your sister in law figured out what was wrong!
I have migraines and the eye pain of it you can see but you can't see or look, it hurts too much. You can't talk because it hurts too much, that's just the head part of the migraine.
I have also suffered from migraines since I was around 15 years old, and today I am 44. That means I have been suffering from migraines for over 29 years, which accompany me at least once every week. I can only stop it briefly with triptans, but it flares up again after the medication stops working. I currently have migraines 2-3 times a week, which last several hours (only thanks to medication, otherwise it would last 2-3 days). From that point of view, I can understand your suffering very well. Do you also take medication? If so, which ones work best for you? I then take anti-emetic medication, triptans and also Voltaren or Mefenacid in combination. Kind regards from Switzerland, Laura❤
Migraine is connected to caffeine hyper sensitivity.
Could it be the paint fumes that induce the migraines? You've had them for 20 years. Doesn't it approx. add up with the number of years you've painted ?
My migraines are hormonal. They are like clockwork every three weeks. I usually get 2 within one week lasting between 36 and 48 hours each. I was a charcoal artist for years before I started painting.
Okay guys, now imagine a kidneystone...
Lol…at least your medical team can know exactly when you skidded into schizophrenia…poor thing.
