I met with Jin on Friday after work to see if I could pull off a painting.
What I discovered is that I REALLY don't like being out in busy environments unless I have to.
My vision is too compromised, and I'm not kidding at all about that. It's kind of scary.
I also can't see to paint.
This painting is rather terrible;
I could not see through my cataract in the upper right corner.
We were in Sheep Meadow and a park guy started kicking everyone out around 7:30..... I didn't have the people in yet and I have never rushed like I was rushing. (I do not ever work plein airs in studio after. So it had to get finished or remain unfinished.) We did end up getting kicked out of Sheep Meadow.
Whether I was rushing, struggling to see, or a combination of both, this painting is not good.
I think I need to just take a break until after my surgery. It's not enjoyable, and too much of a struggle.
I would rather struggle with painting issues than vision issues.
Also, I think my cataract has gotten worse since my last dr visit. It's also magnified in glasses.
I'm so glad this is getting taken care of.

This sketch is leaning toward a Monet like painting. I can't wait for you to get your eyes fixed. It must be beyond frustrating.
ReplyDeleteI thought of you when I saw on the news that the power went out in NY. I hope you didn't have any trouble from that glitch.
