We all have magic moments, But for me being legally blind for 20 years then 2 years ago going for eye surgery to get me some clear vision in my one good eye, that to me was a magic moment on steroids, I’d say, while I was legally blind I could never see what I was painting,
Being totally blind in my right eye, and 30 percent blurry and out of focus in the other one, people always asked me, Pj how do you paint if your legally blind, and without thinking about it, I’d always reply, I don’t paint from the eyes I paint from the Heart!! Art from the Heart all the way!!
Having low vision only activates other senses to take over!! I realized when I first lost my vision that I could still dream and day dream in full clear color vision, so I thought to myself, I have a vision,
What I’d do is close my eyes and create a vision in my head using my imagination, and then transfer that image to canvas!! once I created it in my head it would stay there till the painting was complete,
But when I’d look down as I’m painting the image was always very blurry, but when Friends would come over I’d ask, does my art look blurry to you, and they would say NO Pj its crystal clear,
So when I had the opportunity came to have eye surgery to let me see more clearly I was very excited, after surgery getting home, and after 2 days when the bandage came off and I could see all my art clearly for the very first time,
First thing I said was WOW!! Total amazing, that was my Magic moment for sure, then looking out my window and seeing that there was a mountain in the distance with houses on it, I could not believe my eyes, it was a very emotional day,
Weeks go by and I started painting again, but my art was not the same now that I had clear vision, I think possibly because my creative imagination was now turned off, my art totally sucked, I was not happy, so I left art for a while,
The eye surgeon told me to be patient it will all come back, he said my brain is just confused about being able to see clearly again, it will take time, and it took a long time, but I was not to worried, because I knew I could still paint even without vision,
My vision sadly is fading again slowly, but I’ve been there done that, I’m ready for it because I know my art will only get better, Stay creative my friends!!/ Pj(*_*)
