Well, an artist knows he is in trouble when a gallery he respects tells him to get his eyes fixed, so when Cameron and Rick at the Port A Gallery made that request after many complaints on my part that my vision was blurry, I took their sage advice and have had cataracts removed. What a difference it made, not only in color but in discerning values!  I look forward to the next Port A paint out with new eyes!

And speaking of Port A Paint out, this years' was very entertaining and productive, but was really painful in some respects. The red tide had invaded coastal waters, and the wind picked the heinous stuff up and made our eyes water, our noses run, and made breathing difficult on Thursday. However, Friday morning a cold front blew in and the misery index turned pleasureable. Beautiful weather prevailed. 

Thanks once again to Cameron and Rick Pratt and Linda Morgan.
