2025 in Perth….a little bit painting…

And a bit of worrying.

I’ve reread the booklet from the clinic several times which should reassure me. It says that it takes several weeks for my eyesight to settle. It’s only been 8 days since the op…..but it feels much longer.

Everything is probably fine, but I’ll be glad to get to 4 weeks when it seems I should be okay and can’t do anything stupid to hurt myself.

This morning I went for a walk and didn’t wear sunglasses. It was a grey damp morning.

I don’t recognise myself with no glasses and no eye make up.  I’m not complaining…..it’s just strange.

I want to draw this.
Nice red car…
Might paint this.
I think if I could draw this tree then I would understand trees better.

The day began with Bob Ross again. I’m noticing that in-between the “happy little trees” he gives some good advice. He makes mountains look so good and easy to paint.

I’ve gessoed 2 pages in different  sketchbooks and I painted my flowers and cake again with acrylic paint to compare with the caran d’ache neocolour 2s.

The one on the left is with acrylic paint.

Today I looked at February 2024 photos. 

I was working on oil self portraits.

I love this as a painting….I just wish I looked a bit better.

Then I found some more older portraits.

This was full length. I still love it. 
I like this
This came second in a local competition.
A quick pastel sketch I liked, but no one else did.

I’m working my way through the first 5 episodes of Midsomer Murders  in the evenings. I seem to have given up on Netflix again.

Wine time again now.

Cheers🍷🍷
