I've been home much more than usual recovering from my first cataract surgery and waiting for my second. My vision at the moment is far from normal due to having now one new long distance eye and one very shortsighted old eye. Thankfully I can still sketch!
My new drawings are less precise (sometimes disturbingly so) but perhaps they have more vitality and that's a quality I've long been aiming for!
Add to all this one rather wet cold winter. Born in the tropics, I'm one who hates the cold and trapped indoors what better inspiration than views out the window.
On a cold dismal afternoon.
I'll add these sketches to my "Backyards and Over the Fence" series.
This one on a sunny afternoon showing part of our neighbour's house. Oops! the date should read 02/07/22.
As my field of vision is currently small these sketches are each only approximately 4"x3".
I don't really worry about what my sketches look like as long as I'm able to still enjoy this pastime which has dominated my life since 2012.
