Checking in and the teapot

Have to say I am loving the social distancing aspect of this horrible COVID-19. I don't have to go anywhere or do anything for the several organizations I do volunteer work with. When this is over, I will re-think how busy I want to be. For now, I am painting most mornings and gardening or cleaning each afternoon.

Biggest event recently was today's Instacart Costco delivery. Other good news today is completion of Teapot with Lemon. Yay! Now I can move on.

I hope you are all staying home and staying well.

Coronavirus Paint-Along

My friend Kay and I were telephone chatting about social distancing. It evolved into us painting the same still life set-up. Today, we are showing each other progress (or my lack-of). Here is a screenshot of my email to her today. Phone a 60+ artist friend and start a paint-along of your own.

Collection of the Artist pile

Wow. It is already March! We are 'social distancing' due to the coronavirus COVID-19 and I'm loving my days at home, in the studio and garden. Cleaned out my file cabinets and moving on to my flat files - specifically the drawer marked pastel paintings. I'm creating a Collection of the Artist pile. Have a look here.
