It's Monday! What Are You Reading? (March 30): 03/23/20
The shelter in place has been extended until May 1st. The shopping situation is stabilizing. Things are easier to purchase but the stock isn't close to being what it had been in February.
So far everyone in my immediate family is still well but we've reached the point where each of us knows someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. Through extended contacts, we also, sadly, know of people who have died.
Drawings I made:
To keep things simpler to post, I'm sharing one image of all the week's drawings. They're all done with copic markers.
Paintings worked on:
I have opened an Etsy store. Right now there are eight paintings available. I haven't updated the store to add newly completed ones. If you've seen something posted and want to buy it, email me. I am also open for commissions. Prices are by size of canvas.
Pasta is now finished. It's an acrylic painting on a 6x6 canvas. It's available for purchase.
La Casa del Capitan is also complete. This one was a commission for my aunt.
I'm now 5 hours into painting this 16x20 sandhill crane landscape.
I'm 2 hours into this painting of a quesadilla.
I'm 2 hours into this painting of four chickens which I'm calling "The Choir."
