This was/ is an excellent photo clicked by a friend but made me realize not every good photo translates into a neat painting subject . The large landscape patch with repetitive elements was hard to reproduce for a beginner like me and might have ended up looking a bit chaotic . In the pic the branch and bird on it is on the foreground/ closer to us and hence bigger but am not sure it translated well in the painting. But I like the overall mood of this effort 🙂 any feedback welcome please !

HRT toleration issues . Advice needed pls
I am 40 and has been trying HRT since a few few months now. My PCP was dismissed so I got HRT through online provider . She started me off with .025 MG estrogen batch, and 100 MG progesterone which is later upped to 200 MG. Now the problem is I cannot tolerate estrogen patch anymore. I am doing half of the .025 MG patch and even that gives me horrible chest tightness and breathing difficulties so patches pretty much off the table for me in between she prescribed estrogen gel .25 MG and that did not have any side effects on me, but I didn’t notice any particular improvement either. I would have loved to stay on that but my insurance doesn’t cover it and expensive for daily use. She didn’t have any other options for me other than suggesting me to try Macca root and cohosh.
Has anyone gone through the same and found any other options? Progesterone helps me sleep better so I am just taking that nightly right now. I might get some testosterone too based on my numbers from my next appointment. But I am really disheartened that there is nothing I can do to help improve the estrogen in my body .Any tips and advice, please🙏🏽

Loosely followed a tutorial by Nina Volk for this one . Not too happy with how it came out ,as I wanted more dispersion and granulation for the mood . I think my paper is too thick (trying out a new one) and it was almost impossible to get those as well as scratch out details and such , but oh well - an effort was made :)
Feedbacks appreciated 🙏🏽🙂
