Today’s Flower Art work was challenging. One eye was loaded with dilating drops, the sun was blazing right into my face, and I could see colors well but not details between the two. I’ve got a good streak going, I’m not ready to break it.

It was tricky to figure out what the camera was seeing compared to what I was seeing, which was still pretty fuzzy. I’ll know the benefits of the surgery in the morning. I have a shield over the eye operated on, which puts any photo under strain. My eyes are tired; I have to use some intuition.

However, I couldn’t resist the chance to experiment with the beautiful colors I saw with one eye, and it turned out to be an exciting learning experience. I will rest for the rest of today and tonight. I see the doctor in the morning.  The eye needs some rest.

I would add for and shape to O’Keeffe’s definition of color as the focus. For e.g., it’s color, shape, and form.

Here goes. I was happy with it and excited by the experiment. It’s not bad for one eye. I learned a lot and got some excellent ideas. The backbone today was some portrait photos of roses; I love photographing them; they have enormous character, and the Gladiola’s have great color.
