Time-Lapse on YouTube


paint on canvas, 8 x 10

Here's a time-lapse I made at the spurring of my friend, Charmaine--she is wicked smart and super cool and also Associate Artistic Director of Smart Orchestra.

It's not exactly what I'd call a pretty painting ? But definitely something that needed to get out. All of the anxiety and stress caused by mask-wearing, hand sanitizing, social-distancing, and just lack of people contact.

I'm trying to remember to reach out to my friends in the ways that I can--through text and email, photograph and funny story--spanning that silence until we can actually hang out together again.

Hope you're having an okay weekend.
