Reflecting on this Year
This period of COVID seems to have been a reset for the planet; an ending and a beginning. I was lucky not to be alone all the time, but I took plenty of time for myself to reflect and meditate and study. Time almost disappeared and as a slow painter that was a relief. It seems that what is awful in one moment can be a blessing in the next. Through all this I see us slowly becoming more open, kinder and wiser. I have connected with new people and old friends through the internet. People really want to connect. My painting, ‘In the Wilderness’ was inspired by a Rubens of Mary Magdalen, and by life.
