Waterlily Pleasure!

Waterlily Pleasure
10" x  8" oil on panel  $225.SOLD

Artist Note
This is another with lots of greens and blues.
The two colors I seem to gauge the best atthe moment.
 I love painting the
waterlily ponds so it has been a pleasure.
 It has gone through
lots of changes though
and I learned from each change.
 It was all about the values of the water.
Too light and it competed with the main lily.


Personal Note
I want to thank all of you who took the time to
pass on information regarding
the lens choice for cataract surgery.
The doctor believes that regular
distance vision would be best...
mentioning that dreadedword...AGE as the reason.
He found monovision to be
less successful
in his more"mature" patients.
Stab to the heart!
I thought cataracts only happened
to mature folk!
so now we know there are
levels of mature, my friends!

So goodbye visions of
having no reading glasses
and I will be forever
searching for them...
unless any of you can pass on helpful hints.

Light On the Lily Pond

Light On The Lily Pond

6"x6" oil on canvas panel $110. SOLD

Artist Note

This is a beautiful lily pond 

which was illuminated

by a

single ray of sunshine.

Although I painted this from 

the photo I took, 

it was still 

very clear in my mind

making it so much easier 

to capture the mood.

I have always been grateful

for my visual memory.

My hubby, bless him, has not

much visual recall.

For him,  directions are given

 by miles and compass, north, south etc,

whereas I see the blue fence,

the yellow house, the big tree, etc.

I bet most of you are the same

as I am.

A little personal note.

As you probably have noticed,

 I have not been posting

anywhere near as frequently

during this past year.

Paintings are taking 

MUCH longer

because I am having  some

problems (quite a bit) with my vision 

but it will be corrected 

in a couple of weeks

when I will be having 

cataract surgery. 

Second eye early next month

Alleluia!

I wonder if any of you have had 

or know anyone who has had

experience with the monovision - 

where one eye is corrected for distance 

and one for close up?

Would you share with me, please?

I have been posting my older work

on Instagram and Facebook.

I hate to have worked so hard 

to build up to build up a following

only to have it all disappear due to 

age and mother nature.

Thanks for sticking with me.
