A Year of Making Art, Day 232: No Patience

December 7, 2007  Day 232

The past few days I was up, and now I'm down.  After cataract surgery, my new eyes are wonderful for distance viewing, but terrible for anything up close to within sixteen inches of my face.  Yesterday I exchanged the reading glasses I'd bought from the drugstore for new ones that didn't work any better, and now I want to return those and try some others.

I won't see the opthalmologist for two weeks to have my eyes tested for a possible new prescription, and I'm not even sure what would work at this point.  When I am drawing, I don't quite see it clearly either way, with or without the reading glasses.  Thus, in frustration, I made this morning's drawing:

I need to make canvases and start painting again, but with these eyes, I don't think I'll even be able to measure correctly.

I know I should give it all time and relax, but I'm not a patient person!

(Note:  There is a gap between the dates I'm writing and posting in order to give me time to get ahead.)
