Over in the blink of an eye. The Gathering. The month. The year. Only a few more days. And I still have so many ideas. Well, that is a cool problem to have. Haha.

A few more days, and it will be October. That is the beginning, of the end of the year. You know what I mean. Holidays, so much to do. There are several paintings from this month, that I feel are still works in progress. Minor tweaks or additions. If I am honest with myself, I probably won’t get back to them until next year. And by then, I might forget what it is I thought was wrong. Haha.

Have a great week everyone! 😀🌻🌵🌻

Just a few more days now. Time passes so quickly, but the challenge month seems like a blink of the eye. Speaking of eyes, next month I am having cataract surgeries. “Yay”, she says, with an OMG look on her face.

I knew I have floaters. Annoying. The doctor is not worried about those though. He did not see cataracts in my first visit. Six weeks later they were there. He was astounded. He could not believe his notes had no mention. And I told him that he did not say anything about them. He said it rarely happens, that they develop so quickly. I reminded him I have Lupus, and he did say that could be a factor.

I have pre-op on the 3rd and surgery on the 8th and 15th. I will likely be digitally silent for most of the month. Bright light and all. Their website mentions that color vision may be improved. Hmm. “Interesting”, she says, eyebrow raised.

I have to be honest and say, I am mildly freaking out at the thought of someone slicing my eye open. While I am awake. Everyone I have talked to says it is a breeze. I will be thrilled to have them both behind me.

I used a digital repeat pattern on the vase. For Nelvia: The lines were black but I removed most of that color and altered it with selective color. Just as printers do, you can get thousands of variations by adding more or less cyan, magenta, and yellow.

Which vase do you like best?
