Daily painting #736 6"x6" ink and acrylic on primed panel (unframed)
I have had a week of no painting forced on me. Sometimes it is only when we are forced to slow down that we do just that! Last week while browning off sausages in a pan for an oven casserole, a sausage exploded as I turned it over and the hot fat splashed in to my eye! I would forgive you for laughing even though it was no laughing matter....the story sounds so absurd! My immediate response of course was to close my eye and put my hand to it which only served to spread the hot fat under the eyelid and further along the eye. A crazy accident! An artist with no eyesight would be the worst form of torture possible!
I saw an ophthalmologist and thank goodness the burn did not go on the pupil of my eye but I have had a very sore, raw and tender eye (rather ugly looking too). I also had to avoid putting any strain on the eye so no painting, reading or too much screen time. Without painting or reading life is kind of unbearable! So I have not been very happy. I still have supposedly 3 of the 10 days of rest left, but I am going crazy so I snuck in a quick ink and acrylic painting. These beautiful roses from last week are drooping and on their way out so I had to capture them just one last time. Now ssssshhhh.....don't tell the doctor I'm posting a painting.....our secret!
Hope to be back to full speed in the studio again soon!

A good case for wearing safety glasses while cooking things involving fat and oil. If I'd suggested that a fortnight back, it wouldn't have sounded plausible.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more! I did try my hand at telling my family I was retiring from the kitchen for good....it's a dangerous place! But I love cooking almost as much as I love painting so my kitchen strike didn't last very long! I don't have safety glasses but I did threaten to wear my daughters swimming goggles if I am ever brave enough to cook sausages again!
