It has now been more than eight weeks since I completed my latest print, ‘The View From the Road to Paradise Farm,’ and recorded my print blog. Unfortunately, six weeks ago I suffered a minor stroke. My enormous gratitude for the prompt superb NHS treatment is without bounds. I spent eight days in hospital and was ‘lucky’ not to suffering any paralysis - however some physical consequences have left me with various problems. Being unable to focus properly on anything in close-up means that at the moment I’m having great difficulty with co-ordination of hand and eye - quite serious for a printmaker! Surprisingly, this has left me unable to read and speak properly - very frustrating for a voracious reader! Let’s hope this is all temporary!
At present, I feel that any printmaking of consequence is impossible - so I’m doing my best to get into a bit of drawing.
