Have only just been able to paint again after a cataract operation in September. I had complications which meant my short sight has been compromised but following some surgery the fluid buildup seems to have cleared and I have started painting again. This is a larger rendition of an earlier piece, such a relief to be ble to see the paper again.

That is great news. I can't imagine, this must have been so hard on you.
What beautiful work. Wish I could see it in person.
W/C and acrylic? Or straight watercolour?

Thank you. This is an ink drawing with ink wash as the colours remain true when they dry. The disadvantage is that you have to work fast as the ink stains the paper as soon as it is applied.
I need to get painting as there is a summer exhibition and I need work of exhibition quality before then. I usually do the bulk of my pictures in late summer early autumn but this year I need to catch up. Not sure if this picture will make the cut.

That's quite amazing. And painstaking. It's not a technique I knew of (ie, the coloured inks/washes). Like Esse quam says, makes the cut here. : ))
Thanks for sharing such beautiful work.

Good for you!
Unfortunately I had a Lasik operation which went bad and now I see worse. For anyone thinking of it take PRK instead and take it from a surgeon who's been doing it for 20 years.
