Thank you very kindly to Carl for his reference photie and sharing his story

here is a snippet of Carl's story I will be posting his full story with his finished portrait

"I’ve never considered myself to be disabled. I wasn’t disabled at all for my adult working life but after thirty-five years of military service in the name of my country, I have accumulated my share of wear and tear, or battle scars as I prefer to call them.

This is part of Danny's story

"On March 27, 2024, I was trundled into an operating theatre for what I hope will be my last bowel surgery. I had, literally, a pain in the arse. So, the NHS kindly removed what was left of my rectum. I realised the operation was more serious than I’d thought when the surgeon said there were 22 people in attendance.
