This is serious my friends

It all begins

Please take care everyone. Wear your masks, social distance, wash your hands,
leave your faces alone.  Sad news today that a dear friend's family member died, and
another friend's young daughter has contracted this horrible virus. 

Staying positive is important, plus we have to be careful, and we have to grieve
for everyone who's lost their lives, lost family members and friends during this
hard time.

The image tonight is one of my simple abstracts made by printing a monoprint
using glass and acrylic ink on watercolour paper. Making them has given me
so much pleasure.  I guess it's the element of surprise -- which is really there in
all art, but in this method it's like opening a surprise gift.

Have a helping each other day.

Thank you Evelyn,

Times are scary, and I so wish everyone could be careful about this virus, and careful with each other. You help me too with your wonderful drawings, and beautiful posts.

Thank you.
