Nenad, That appears to be a good plan.  Sometimes at exact scale, things don't look quite right.   Your eyes will be the best judge.

Just right, Mark!

Little break with another hobby

Nice!

 

Cheers,

Good news: Cataract surgery - done, I stopped looking throught fog, my sight get cleared. Oh Yeah !!!!

Bad news: I have to wait sometime for everything in my eye to get on it`s place to proceed with Her Majesty

See you soon!

[SawdustDave]

That is great news Nenad.

I don’t know how you have managed to do the work you have done up to now without clear vision.

 

[popeye the sailor]

good to hear Nenad!   rest up and a speedy recovery to you!   

[CaptainSteve]

My Dad had that same surgery, Nenad. Within a week, he was spotting telephone numbers on his refrigerator from across the room.

His vision is better than mine, now !!

Good luck with your recovery.

Congratulations Nenad, 

 

I too had Cataract surgery done today on my left eye,I had the right eye operation done in January. The increase in vision in that eye was spectacular (40% to 100%) within a few days. I hope it is the same for you.

Sit back and relax, Nenad. You can't force it anyway. Have a speedy recovery

[Piet]

Congratulations Nenad, that's good news my friend.

 

Cheers,

all the best

Waiting for full recovery, dropping antibiotic in my eye, I try not to expose it to dust, so, Her Najesty has to wait to the my next medical control.

In mean time, another hobby is active

Acrylic paints, experimenting with their transparency

 

[Omega1234]

Damn Nenad!!!!

 

That’s a mighty fine piece of art you’ve made there.

 

I like it!

 

Cheers

Thx. Just playing

[mtaylor]

It might be playing to you, but it looks like artwork from here.  Nicely done with interesting imagery.

[popeye the sailor]

interesting piece of art Nenad....very well done     

[NenadM]

Thanks for nice words.

Right now I am in the middle of antibiotic therapy - drops for eyes in four hours interval, and it does not look clever to go to workshop to hang out with dust.

But, from time to time I get my regular attack of creativity, and just must do something with my hands, and of course, washing dishes is not quite creative toward my needs

You, my friends,  certainly know what is the best therapy for insane people ?

See you soon with "piece of art" finished, or with two left boats

Yeah, Denis ... except I am complete incompetent and fully idiot to learn to draw and to paint any living being ... I tried it and it was - hilarious funny - my rabbit look like horse, my bear looks like a cat etc etc and I gave up long time ago. Free forms and some imaginary creatures with eventualy nice folded colors, that is all

[popeye the sailor]

it takes practice.....and time.......something that is hard to come by for some.   I don't paint.........I need a lot of light.   if I don't have enough light,  I can't see the numbers

It is in the eye of the artist how he/she shows the subject on canvas. It doesn't matter if a bear looks like a cat, as long as it's what you meant to paint. Look at bauhaus, cubism, and all the other art movements, but for photographic realism ...

If you are intrested, you can see what is my inspiration, looking on Google for serbian painters from painter movement MEDIALA (similar as Salvador Dali), particulary world famous painters: Vladimir Velickovic, Dado Djuric, Ljuba Popovic, Olja Ivanjicki, Milic od Macve etc etc

Just for example

Current status of Sergal Cutty Sark, extensively modified from the grossly incorrect plans.  Using Longridge and Underhill as guides.  10 years into this project!

[NenadM]

Still here, but ...

 

At first, Hothead occupied my work space in his hard decision to repair my 30 years old hand axe ... 

At second, I tried how sharp is kitchen knife ...

 

Noting serious, I avoid sewing, little but deep wound on inconvenient place of hand, and just remember that Princess is doctor, and she strongly banned me from any wet and dirty job couple of days ...

 

[cog]

Be glad you didn't try the sharpness of the hand axe ... Princess is right, eventhough we do not like to hear what she has to say ...

Take good care of that hand ... we are ever so patient, Nenad

Were you cutting birthday cake at the time? Happy belated shared birthday.

[jud]

A serious craftsman always has something healing up, keeps the body in practice. A good Doctor should recommend a weakly cut or scrape as a preventive medicine routine, kind of like taking a flu shot. Glad to see you are coming along well in several areas, your painting, looks like eyes were on your mind. Suspect when you return to the Cutty there will be a flurry of activity.

[mtaylor]

The old saying true then... "There will be blood.".   I've cut myself more than once with the kitchen knives.. and hobby knives.. and just about anything sharp.   Follow Princess's advice.
