Art of the Pandemic

 

In the artistic void of the pandemic, I decided to paint intuitively, with some online instruction, with no reference to photographs which had been my practice for some years. I would paint intuitively, freely, no holds barred. I chose cold wax medium and oils because I could splatter and smear them with my hands or spatulas rather than brushes.

 

As I worked, creatures emerged.  What poured out of my body was not anger, but joy, not separation but connection. I abandoned myself to the moment and everything seemed alright - no, was alright.
