But you are correct that when something does go south, one gains a new appreciation of it ( i.e sight). What happened to people before laser eye surgery? Potential loss of sight, I guess...shudder.David Lobenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17550343255310931339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2851626699837326.post-23732336283103958332008-10-14T19:03:00.000-07:002008-10-14T19:03:00.000-07:00David- I'm late to this post and only now see your...David- I'm late to this post and only now see your last comment.<BR/>I hope by the time this gets to you, your eye surgery is long over.<BR/><BR/>How much there is to be grateful for that we often don't realize until we're without. <BR/><BR/>Now these watercolors- they're beautiful and just show how broad your range is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2851626699837326.post-32546468446588000322008-10-14T15:28:00.000-07:002008-10-14T15:28:00.000-07:00I had NO tequilas, Onpainting, but I sure could ta...I had NO tequilas, Onpainting, but I sure could take a few hits now!! I went to my optometrist yesterday to get a follow up exam on a floater in my left eye and the bastard found a small retinal tear and the start of another! "Yer fuckin me?!!!!" He replied "Hell no, and yer got some minor retinal tears about to start ta git outta hand in yer right eye as well, sucka!!..and...yer gettin yer ass over to the laser dept. to git this shit fixed NOW!" SIX HOURS from when I walked through his door, I came out with a huge patch on my left eye and the need for my wife to pick me up. Ever try to drive with one eye. Lack of depth of field can be a real bitch while motoring. After I called her, she calls me back with "The fuckin gas tank is on empty!! You forgot to gas my car (that's one of my honey do's). Fortunately, she made it to the Shell station on fumes, and I'm back home on a day off from painting to rest my poor eyes. I think that accident I was in was not very helpful.David Lobenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17550343255310931339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2851626699837326.post-12493307439257676242008-10-14T14:56:00.000-07:002008-10-14T14:56:00.000-07:00Thanks Paz!Thanks Paz!David Lobenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17550343255310931339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2851626699837326.post-25280531896248031952008-10-14T14:55:00.000-07:002008-10-14T14:55:00.000-07:00Robin: Thank you...I tell my h2o students that mos...Robin: Thank you...I tell my h2o students that most (not all) water color paintings that work are at a minimum strong in value contrasts, and that it helps to save some whites (white of the paper).David Lobenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17550343255310931339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2851626699837326.post-10329236004007040592008-10-14T14:00:00.000-07:002008-10-14T14:00:00.000-07:00Hey where are you - have too many tequilas at the ...Hey where are you - have too many tequilas at the restuarant?http://www.onpainting.wordpress.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686317908010461627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2851626699837326.post-12167581703188692582008-10-13T15:23:00.000-07:002008-10-13T15:23:00.000-07:00Very nice!
