Suddenly all the colour and contrast and titles are back. I<br /><br /> hadn't quire realised how much vision I'd lost. <br /><br />I think I began to realise last year while trying to produce artwork for the Society of Botanical Artists exhibition - and it was a real struggle. <br /><br />This year I just passed on even trying because I didn't want to go through all the frustration of not being able to do what I wanted to see and do. <br /><br />I've kept sketching while losing my sight but stopped the more formal artwork. So once I've got the proper eyesight back the proper artwork should start up again as well.Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-61455441900350409412013-05-04T07:33:51.365+00:002013-05-04T07:33:51.365+00:00Your brave, eccentric drawing really caught my eye...Your brave, eccentric drawing really caught my eye!
