<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Being stuck at home for days at a time can be maddening for some folks. So the Getty Museum has come to our rescue! They have issued a playful challenge on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to re-create your favorite art using objects (and people) lying around the house. </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The challenge was inspired by the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and an Instagram account called Between Art and Quarantine. </span><span style="caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102); color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thousands of re-creations have been done in both serious and humous ways. My contribution falls into the latter category. With the gravity of the current world situation, I have turned to cartooning to try and elevate spirits and lighten the mood. Although not strictly </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">adhering to the challenge protocols, my cartoon depicts a probably homebound couple, attempting a re-creation of the Mona Lisa. As you can see by the Vermeer Astronomer above, folks can be fairly exacting. And the snag comes when someone, probably the husband (not seen), for authenticity's sake, suggests the model shave off her eyebrows! Ruh-Roh Reorge. (High resolution scans have revealed that DaVinci originally</span></span><span style="caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102); color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102); color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">did</span><span style="caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102); color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> give La Gioconda eyebrows and eyelashes, but they have faded over time.) </span></div>

I have seen three along the Highline Canal Trail west of Dayton Street. The first was: You Can Do This! Another was: You Are Valid, which was near Windsor Gardens senior community.

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sang Rouge translates from the French: Red Blood or more ominously Blood Red. I was thinking about all the lives affected these days, in both existential and all too real terms. Hovering above the red are thin silver cords. A lifeline to our higher self. I use the singular because it is the one life that we all share. A seemingly tenuous connection, which by our attention and intention can be made strong and more conductive, to hope, courage and right action. We are all one in this flesh and blood life. Let us care for one another and move thru this together. You are not alone.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Agnes Martin (1912-2004) was a Saskatchewan, Canadian painter who emigrated to Taos, NM, was discovered by gallerist Betty Parsons, moved to NY where her friends and neighbors included Robert Indiana and Ellsworth Kelly. (Later she returned to New Mexico.) Her large canvases at the time were comprised of horizontal pencil lines and grids. From the Zen Buddhist and Taoist lineages, her lines represented chants or prayers, as do mine. In these difficult times you may go line by line, similar to prayer beads or a rosary, saying an <span style="caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">affirmation at each one. As Meister Eckhart said: If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is Thank You, it will be enough.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This painting was inspired by the dress my friend Kathleen was wearing when I first met her. I haven't done much with colored pencils lately but this work combines them with graphite on paper and instead of using a Titanium White or Titan Buff for the 'veil', I mixed gesso with acrylic matte medium. It has a nice feel on the hot press Arches watercolor paper and I can easily control the <span style="caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">opacity. The matte medium nicely stabilizes the pencil, so I've also done some similar work on canvas which won't need to be under glass.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Happy first day of Spring! For me this painting definitely speaks to the beginning of the new season. A symbol of hope in these perilous times. It is a time for reinvention. Now that many of us are home more, free of the world's distractions, it's a perfect time to incubate, and formulate a new path forward. Take time for meditation and introspection and surely as the flower emerges from the palm chakra, new life, new ideas, new ways of being in the world will come from within. Like Spring from Winter...</span><br />
