PPF One more week to the eye dr

Hi Everyone! 

I am still dealing with my eye. I have a visit with the eye doctor on the 4th and will let you all know what is going to happen.
I did get some art done. It seems to help if I focus in on something wearing dark sunglasses. 
Thank you for leaving comments, again as soon as I can get more than 5 minutes on the PC at a time every 4 hours I promise to get to everyone to leave comments. 
Here is the art for this week.
All acrylic paints.

PPF Still Can't See

Hi Everyone!

I have 5 minutes to write this post. My eye is NOT better and has so many floaters that I am missing things in my sight. Saw the eye doc today and he still wants to wait. Uuuhhhgggg. I see him again Sept. 2. My wallet can't take much more of this. Geeessss. So I did get two paintings done. It is interesting painting with one eye. Good thing I am an abstract artist. LOL
Both paintings have lots of texture, the first one is also embellished with gold leaf.



 
I really like how this turned out. I used some different tools to get these effects.
 Wishing everyone a great weekend.

PPF one eye sight

Hi Everyone!

First off, as soon as my eye returns to normal I will be around to leave comments  for the weeks I have missed. I am only suppose to be on the PC a few minutes at a time and only twice a day.  I have a patch on my eye while typing this.  I did draw and paint this week, again with one eye. Very difficult and sooooo strange.  
Here is my drawing this week. This is a model from a magazine. I don't know her name.



 And here is my painting. 16x20" gallery canvas, acrylic paints

PPF Retina yikes

Hi Everyone!

Well what a week. I had an eye doctor apt. on July 24th. He is a new ophthalmologist to me, my regular doctor retired, or quit he was pretty young. Anyway, the exam goes well, got new prescription for glasses and that was that. EXCEPT on August 2 I woke up with a floater in a complete circle and seeing sparks. The doc gets me in on Tuesday and this ring floater is called a weiss floater and is pulling on my retina, thus seeing sparks. He said the retina is fine right now and to rest my eye. Uhhhh and how is that done? I have sun glasses on as I write. It helps a lot. Staying off the PC as much as possible, and wearing a patch. In a few weeks if it is not better or if it is worse I need to phone him for surgery. Ohhhh hell NO. I would rather go to the dentist that the eye doctor. So that is life for me right now. I did get some art done before the doctor.
However, before I show you that. I want to tell all of my international friends about a new beading site that is open in the Netherlands. https://www.letsbead.nl/ She carries my Nicole's BeadBacking too so for all of you closer to the Netherlands than the US you can now order from Yvonne at


So here are the drawings I did this week

I am not finished with her hair but it will have to wait until my eye gets better.  

 And this one

PPF Color

Hi Everyone!

It has been hot for where I live. I love all of this sunshine. Makes me feel alive. With that said we are very low on our rain fall and the fires are burning way south of us. It is that time of year.
Today I hung art at the library, I forgot to get photos but I will go in and get some to show you next week. 
I did get some art done this week and pretty please with how they turned out. 
I was told that I paint dark. Sometimes the subject, but most of the time the colors. So Here is some color.  16x20" acrylic and pastels.

The next two faces are on the same piece of paper. No relation to the art just a big piece of paper

 This is actually a lady that lives down the street from me.

I still need to improve on my drawings but I am getting there.
