"We All Make Mistakes"
(here's one of mine - there will be more)
One cataract surgery completed and one to go. Currently one eye sees yellowish and fuzzy and focuses up close at about 8 inches. The other eye sees bright and clear and focuses at about 8 feet. When it comes to doing artwork everything I need to see is somewhere in between there.
When starting today's work I was thinking of something I saw 10-15 years ago out west. That got away from me so quickly I let whatever was happening happen. This time is unlike any other. I can't imagine not trying things that I will never get the chance to try again when I can see properly. So. I am going to just do what I can and will. Letting what happens be what happens. And leaving this record of it.
Sometime between the middle and end of May I should be able to see clearly. Have glasses that allow me to focus at arms length where I need to in order to do artworks. Everything I see will no longer appear to be in a haloed soft focus and glazed with honey. Sounds exciting. Big change. A new way of looking at things.
