Not very good at this blogging thing and I am deffinitely not going to get any better if I don't do it more often than once every 5 months. That's less than useless. Bad news is that over the last 5 months there hasn't been a whole lot going on in my studio to blog about. Since my last post I started having some problems with double vision. Multiple new glasses prescriptions and 5 months later, it has turned into a full-on neurological adventure. They think Miller-Fisher syndrome. I will let you google that, like I had too. Consequently, it has left me with one frosted glasses lens on the bad eye, which has turned out and doesn't track properly with the good eye. Not sure yet how much use the affected eye will be again. Doctors are still working on trying to understand what it is that actually happened. So moving on.
The vision has kept me out of the studio until late because, between work and doctors visits, there wasn't a lot of time left. I was able to kick out several monotype prints and a commissioned portrait for my niece's fiancé, but it was a struggle. Good news, I am fully retired now. So, no excuses, not even the eye thing. Spent yesterday, all day, in the studio. A glorious day was had. Had to work out a few depth perception details, like trying to discern when my brush was actually hitting panel. Also had to change the lighting in the studio. But, a few do-overs later and voila! "An Island View," 6"x8" oil on wood panel. Think I will keep them small for a while.
