After painting nearly nonstop through the fourth quarter, I'm spending January having my vision repaired -- specifically, having cataracts removed from both eyes. Biggest surprise so far: the substantial difference in the warmth of vision through the eye that has been repaired versus the one that hasn't yet been repaired. For the past year or so, I've been seeing everything through a yellow filter! I apologize to those with whom I argued over hues -- blue vs. aqua, pink vs. coral. What a literal revelation!
