So the pandemic started and this happened…

… On top of all the stress, in less than 2 weeks, my eyes started blurring – I found out I needed reading glasses – too much screen time!

 I tried meditating with the wonderful Jen Smorgon and that helped. But sitting on a cushion for me remains hard.

I have a number of friends who are artists, so after over 20 years of not picking up a paintbrush, I bought some cheap acrylics at Walgreens (the only thing still open which sold paint!), and start painting shapes, with some strong inspiration from Georgia O’Keeffe and others.

 I became hooked in no time, and the Blick Art catalogue brought fond memories of my childhood begging my mother for new art materials, and now realizing I could buy it all myself ;)
