Oil on Panel 9 x 12 inches

Corona Journal Entry I wasn’t going to paint tonight, just find a quiet, comfortable place to draw in the small window of time I had. But I couldn’t resist once I was back outside looking at the light. I thought I’d do something quick and very abstract. Wanted to go way out on the spectrum. But I got sucked into the lovely scene. I knew what I had to do. Snapped a photo and started the rework. A mess for a while, then it began to emerge. Had a deadline and got it this far before I ran out of time. § On the roads today for a training ride the traffic was madness. I guess I have become even more allergic to cars during Corona. But it seems so much more intense. The lockdown is over. In New England the infection rates have been declining (not so elsewhere in the US). So curious to see what happens with the way people behave in the grocery store. Will the nice-ness, the seeing of each other in a new way, the concern – will it all last?
