You know....something you don't normally see in an art store.
Blind people.
And we had one come in the store today, in fact, he comes in often. He has 10% of his vision, and explained to me that it basically seems like he walks around in a cloud of fog.
So how does he paint, or do art I wondered!?!!
Well, he uses certain bright colors that he can slightly distinguish from others, like greens, bright oranges and other fluorescent/luminous colors. He used to draw in pen and ink when his vision was better, but obviously he can't do tight, controlled, detailed work like that anymore.
I am really curious to see what his paintings would look like......even so curious as to try and paint with my eyes closed. How trippy that would be. I'll let you know if I do it.

instead of painting with your eyes closed, just have a couple of cocktails and throw on some of those Dean Edel glasses from the drugstore.
