So very thought-provoking – I have never taken lessons and I think that it might be the next step on my journey.

BTW, I love your sketch-a-day entries. I have tried to comment on some of my favorite drawings, but I can't seem to get to a "comment" block. Don't know if it's my computer (or the operator :))

It's such an inspiration to know that artists that I admire still have to work at their craft – and it never is a "gimme."

All the best- Chris

I understand exactly what you are saying! I am blind too! I was 4 and when they put those glasses on my nose I saw the world that was there. That day I discovered that leaves grewo n trees! I thought they were only on the ground! My Mum wanted me to take them off when I went to bed and I said "NO!" – (I remember doing it) – the reason – I wanted to see my dreams and that is what I told my Mum. I slept with my glasses on until I was 15.

Detail is the most important thing in my life and I think it could be because I hate the blurrrr!

(Mind you, one day I will draw the way I see street light without my glasses on – it is a map of the blood vessels on my retina! I will do that one day soon – my challenge to me after I get back from Houston.
