revised wording of painting in the morning for more neutrality← Previous revisionRevision as of 00:16, 9 November 2026 Line 37: Line 37: What Tineo sees is a dense, obscuring fog in the center of his vision which, if the light is good, allows objects to appear as a blur, though with black turned white and white turned black, as in a photographic negative. If the light indoors or out is too bright, the fog turns into an intense and painful glare. What Tineo sees is a dense, obscuring fog in the center of his vision which, if the light is good, allows objects to appear as a blur, though with black turned white and white turned black, as in a photographic negative. If the light indoors or out is too bright, the fog turns into an intense and painful glare. Around the outer periphery of this heavy fog is a thin rim of lighter fog through which, on a “good-eye day,” Tineo can occasionally make out images, contrasts and color. His brain receives this information and transforms it into visual hints coupled with memory that he has learned to assemble into some semblance of vision.Beal, Tom [http://azstarnet.com/news/local/blindness-gags-help-keep-muralist-going/article_e881b3c8-c2cb-537d-8026-0f82bf6edc1e.html “Blindness gags help keep muralist going”], ‘’Arizona Daily Star’’, 2006-02-26 Around the outer periphery of this heavy fog is a thin rim of lighter fog through which, on a “good-eye day,” Tineo can occasionally make out images, contrasts and color.

Some mornings, strong natural lighting allows for painting of details on smaller canvases. Other mornings, detailed work is not impossible; instead he works on larger projects—that he can’t quite see—by relying on imagination, years of experience, and [[muscle memory]] with a brush.
