I've had the great good fortune of working with you for a long time now on many interesting projects, but I never knew you had a vision problem. I've got to say that in addition to your prodigious graphical talents, you also definitely have a Gift as a writer. Great stuff, Amy. Very well written. You may have missed your calling, young lady.

It has been fixed. I am sure that most people with vision disorders are at a major disadvantage. I am sure nobody would choose it. I admire those who do well in a visual field despite their vision problems. Even though artists like Jay Lonewolf Morales dislike being known as "that colorblind painter," his colorblindness is always going to be something that sets him apart from other artists because his view is so different. My dad is blue-green colorblind, which probably accounts for some of his distressing clothing and decorating choices. I am pretty sure he could never make it as an artist, never mind a house painter. George-- I'm jealous that you have good vision. This morning I'm looking through some foggy contacts that need to be cleaned, feeling like I'm peering through vaseline. Daniel,

Personally, I have pretty good vision and always have my whole life. No glasses or anything for me. Maybe this means I will never become famous? ;) Interesting post Amy.

Unfortunately the link doesn't work. Anyway, I'm definitely not touching crayons and not deciding on colors because of my color blindness. I suppose only a handful are using it as some kind of advantage in painting but many are tied back because of it. Thanks for linking to me. Unfortunately the link doesn’t work.
