Brushstroke

When a talented elderly artist suffers a stroke, she develops tremors in her hands which prevent her from being able to hold a paintbrush steady enough to paint. Depressed she can no longer paint with the tight, detailed style she is known for, she decides to give up completely. Brushstroke follows her journey to try once last time to put paint to canvas. It means a change in attitude first.
