I don't always get it right

 I like to imagine that I get it right more often than not, but um... maybe it's closer to 50/50.


By "right" means that it's the best I can do with my current skillset and feel good about it.




Today's disaster is of a local folly and waterwheel in Himi Gelly Gouache.  It's really sad that I even used a protractor to get the angles right.  Although looking at it now, I can see some of the error is from the post concussion vision issues that won't go away.

Oh, I'm sorry to read you're dealing with persistent post concussion vision issues… I can imagine it adds a layer of challenge to painting some (and maybe all) subjects. At the same time, what comes to mind is that leaning into it might be a way to show us what you see the way you see it. Maybe that's not really possible, or it's not something you'd want to do, but I find it interesting to try and think about what the world may look like from your point of view given those vision issues — while also hoping they will resolve themselves sooner than later.
