Art while social distancing Zoom, Zoom...welcome to Spring 2020
I was planning two exciting work shops. One as the featured watercolor artist in Bastrop, Texas at Lost Pines Art Center during a long week-end in March and the other in Marble Falls in early April. Both had nice sized classes arranged and I was prepared when ...oops! along came a pandemic. There go the best made plans and those preparations were no longer needed. Eventually both events were reluctantly cancelled along with two planned trips, one to Nashville and one to San Francisco. Needless to say, everyone's plans were changed! That, as it turned out, was the least of our concerns. Many were afflicted and died, many in the healthcare industry became beyond overworked, many lost jobs, many ( who knew?) were living on the brink and required immediate assistance even with their next meal. No schooling, no graduations, no airline travel, cruising is OUT....it all ground to a complete and lengthy HALT. Grocery stores were wiped out, toilet paper and meat now rationed and smog...
