Ozzie, Jack Russell Terrier

From the Painting a Dog a Day project, "Ozzie's Smile," 6" x 8", terrier dog portrait in acrylic on canvasboard. I believe Ozzie's portrait is already spoken for, but if you are interested, please send me an email .
 
Being terribly nearsighted has its benefits. For example, I am great at digging out slivers.
 
And does my nearsightedness positively impact my ability to paint? I always want "in your face" sorts of paintings. I am more comfortable painting larger than life or larger than my references. I see color over value. And I'm very comfortable with the whole less is more mentality. These are things not everyone gets, and I'm curious if they are mine because of my eyes.
 
Are there any other nearsighted people out there? Please sound in on how you think your vision (or lack thereof) has impacted your life by commenting on the Painting a Dog a Day blog (remember if you are getting this via email, the blog won't be posted for another hour or so). 
 
Thanks for sharing my paintings!!
See you tomorrow,
Kim
