Sigh. In February my sister and I thought the notion of any kind of virus affecting our lives was something so far from reality we set up this picture and were laughing and laughing. Now I wish I had that full bottle of Clorox wipes on hand, I would never play with an N95 mask, let along get into a store set-up bathtub!!!. What happened? So the past few months have been full of delicious studio time, high anxiety, loving our no-traffic neighborhood and fear. Sound like a familiar bounce? In the midst of it I have been working on creating new content to share virtually, as well as some mixed media painting. Below is one from my new series of dragonflies. Why dragonflies? Who knows. I checked a spirit animal site and they are mentioned as symbols of change. LOL. Mainly I am just reaching for colors I love, tools to create tons of texture, and more chocolate.
