Art may reveal early signs of dementia
At her art therapy class in Leeds, Joyce Cope is carefully painting a tree.
Despite living with dementia, her brushstrokes are measured and steady, the legacy of her years of painting as a talented amateur.
Her work today is very different to the highly detailed pieces she used to produce - expert reproductions of Old Masters such as "Girl With the Peal Earring" by the 17th century Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer.
Joyce's daughter, Hazel, says her mum still enjoys painting, but before the disease took hold her work was really striking.
"They were really good copies of the Old Masters and very detailed.
"She's not as detailed now.
(continued, copiers are demented at the start surely?)

I'm pretty sure your "artistic" posting here is revealing early (if not advanced) signs of dementia.
