“Can you help me?”

A medical illustrator approached me during opening night at my exhibit. She desperately wanted to paint but her attempts had failed miserably, she explained. She wished for a sense of freedom in painting.

Feeling her frustration, my heart went out to her.New~ Waterlilies 22×28 oil on canvas

“Do you wear reading glasses?”

“Yes, of course.” she said.

“Take them off.” I suggested.

Startled doubt cross her face. Understanding, I gently laid my hand on her arm.

“No glasses and trust yourself.”
