I was recently asked "What do Blind People See?' on my Quora pages.
Well for the first time I thought I could actually show people what I see as a blind person.
You can read my article here. William Elliott's Post.
The post includes a painting of my back yard looking East across my porch. This is a photograph of that same view from the same position that I painted the view as I see it.
Recently my wife purchased an acrylic painting class for my birthday. In part to get me out of the house and widen my social circle. Having just moved home I was getting a little stuck in the house and this adult education class seemed to be something that I would enjoy.
So on Wednesday 20th September 2023 out cane my acrylics and I set about trying to paint what I can just about see. This view across my porch to the boundary fence.
So if you have ever wondered what I see as a blind person or wondered wat any blind person can see. Come on over, following the link below.
Now just let me add, the painting is what I can see. It is mostly in shades of grey and black. It is the world as I see it on a bright day.
It is not how all blind people perceive the world. Just my view of the world. No other blind person will perceive the world as I do. We a re all very different and unique.
So come and look through my eye, at a new vision of my blind world.
