DESPITE BEING VISUALLY IMPAIRED. I FIND MYSELF HERE IN A 1:30 AM H CAULFIELD PAINTS EVERY DAY IN A ROOM UPPER FLOOR OF HIS YORK COMB THE LONG-TIME ARTIST PUT HIS HEART AND SOUL IN EVERY PIECE. THIS IS ME ON THIS CANVAS. THIS IS ME ON THE TTHA BOARD FOR MANY YEARS, PAT DID RLIEASTIC WORK LIKE THIS WITH FINE DETAIL BUT SHE GOT UP ABOUT THREE YEARS OAG AFTER HER GLAUCOMA WAS SUDDENLY WORSE MY PRESSURE RAPIDLY INCREASED AND J STARTED TO LOSE RYVE VISION VERY QUICKLY. HIS VISION IS NOW STABLE AFTER A NUMBER OF OPERATIONS. TOOK A WLEHI TO LEARN THESE TECHNIQUES PAT STARTED MAKING ABSTRACT ART LIKE THIS AND SAYS SHE NEVER LOOKED AT OVER LAYERS AND THEN YOU SAND IT AND FIND JUST WHAT IS UNDERWATER AND SOMETIMES YOU FORGET WHAT YOU WANT TO PUT BELOW. AND IT’S A NICE SURPRISE. SHE RECEIVED AOT L OF RECOGNITION FOR HER WORK. THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PAINTINGS THAT RECEIVED THE 2021 ROTTLER AWARD FROM THE T ART ASSOCIATION, THIS WAS A SERIES I DID ON SONGS BY DAVID BOWIE. SO THIS ONE IS CALLED THE BUDDHA SPEAKS OF THE BUDDHA OF SUBURBIA FOLLOWING THIS ONE IN PAT GETS TO EXHIBIT HIS ART HERE AT THE ART ASSOCIATION OF YORK. SHE AND FR OUOTHER ARTISTS ARE PART OF THIS COLLECTIVE EXHIBITION. SHE REALLY COME AGAINST SOME ODDS OVER WHICH SHE HAD NO CONTROL AND SHE MADE IT A POSITIVE THING THE ARTIST FOR SALE WITH SOME OF PAT’S PROCDSEE GOING TO THE GLAUCOMA RESEARCH FOUNDATION. I LOVE IT ENWH IN GOOD HOUSES BUT I SOMETIMES HAVE HARD TO PART WITH SOME OF THEM
