A weird world art and virus

A path I often walk when it is not too much water.

I think I start to understand how watercolor works, when to use "wet on wet" or dry painting. Don´t really like that the paper has to dry every now and then, kind of disrupts the workflow. And I have to remember to finish with Fixative.

I hope all is fit and well. I am, kind of stubborn. They say 70+ shall remain indoors being cared for, but I need my exercise so I still walk the forest to see nature and animals. And, btw, I am the least ill person in my family. So, I will probably take care of the others so, lock myself up in my apartment, politicians can forget about that. But I don´t take unnecessary risks.

Stay well, there are at least 2 good things in all this. We can still meet online, and....space images show our world is cleaning up. What politics could not do about climate change, a tiny virus does.

Linking up with the following memes. My thanks to the hosts:

  4. I love your tilted photo, so interesting and lovely. I, as well, am 70+++ (lol) and I have not stopped my outdoor walking. Thankfully, I can do it without others around. I was not an internet/computer fan, now it feels necessary and is a good thing. Be safe in those woods, and stay well!

  9. These are simply gorgeous. Yes, watercolor is a different medium and I have trouble with it. We are well here. Staying inside, not teaching classes and not inviting people over. We have a very large back yard so we are spending time there to get sunshine and fresh air. You be well and safe.
