We were also extremely fortunate that there was a terrific art exhibit on our gallery wall. The artists (both members of the same guild I belong to, TAG - Trenholm Artists Guild) were in attendance so the audience had a chance to chat with them in addition to seeing their wonderful paintings.
They will have their formal gallery opening and reception on Sunday, February 8th, 3 - 5 PM. It's exciting for me to know these talented women. To be honest, I had a miserable time recovering from cataract surgery on my left eye. The surgery went well and was successful, but I was unable to focus either eye on anything because my perscription in my glasses no longer fit my left eye. I grabbed a pair of old glasses which made it a little easier to see but were no longer good enough for me to read well with my right eye. Headaches and a grouchy disposition plagued me. I wasn't sure how well I'd be able to perform for the Cabaret and made an appointment with my optomestist the Friday before just so I could I moan and groan about my life. My retinologist had suggested I go ahead and get the cataract in my right eye fixed because the difference in "bright light left eye" and "yellow light right eye" was also bothering me. That would mean another month of even worse vision until I could get new glasses. My wonderful optometrist told me to relax, my vision was still correctable and I needed to give myself a rest from eye surgery. He fixed me up with a new pair of glasses in an hour. I was smiing ear to ear and doin' the happy dance clear up to showtime Sunday night. What a relief to be able to focus. Which brings me to the painting I started Wednesday when our group got together. Many washes yet to go, but thought I'd share it anyway. ..... And that's all the news that's fit to print!!
