I discovered that my vision was warping lines in the center of my eyesight. Familiar with the Amsler grid for macular degeneration, I printed one up, and was rattled to discover the center was severely distorted.
Macular hole is when a tear or opening forms in your macula. As the hole forms, things in your central vision will look blurry, wavy or distorted. As the hole grows, a dark or blind spot appears in your central vision.
Fortunately, I found out quickly, and it is treatable and has a high rate of sucess.
This painting shows the Amsler grid, superimposed over my eye. Below, are the OCT (Optical coherence tomography) before and (one week) after images of the site of the hole. I have added a cross section of an eye, and some sample gas bubbles. There was only one in my eye, and it shrank a little every day...

I wish I could spin you a line like: 'my brushstrokes are inspired by Wei Dynasty calligraphy, but my palette reflects the jewel tones of Medieval stained glass'. But that is not me. I am just an old grandmother soul that has been creating since I first got a chubby baby fist on a crayon. For decades, I have worked in a variety of media, in many sizes, and in several themes. Some may reoccur and occasionally mingle with others. My artwork sprawls from impressionist over to, but never reaching, absolute realism. It reflects my life, mental state and interests. I adore dramatic color and very often lean towards a blue/orange dynamic. Skies are rarely calm, buildings should look old and lived in, and people should make you wish you...
