Here in Virginia, we are a full month into no school and “physical distancing”, which I have been told is the new and better way to label what we were originally calling “social distancing”. I guess folks figured out that we humans need to be socially connecting, even if we are physically distant from one another.
Anyway.
This blog post will not be full of musings and lists of suggestions--I’ll wait a week or so to do that. Believe me, I’ve got lots of thoughts!
For today, just one suggestion: Buy the digital version of the May issue of “Artists Magazine”!
“Why?” You ask. Glad you asked.
This issue has a nice, long article about my art beginning on page 58. In eight or so pages, the writer does a great job of describing my work and process AND there are lots of great pictures. AND the editor-in-chief mentions my work in her “Letter from the Editor” on page 4. As you can imagine, I am over the moon about being profiled in this magazine. My brain is still saying “Wow! Oh wow! Wowee, wow, wow, wow!” (Did you notice how sophisticated and articulate my brain gets when I am excited?).
The parent company, Artists Network, is running a big sale on quite a few of its digital editions, you may want to buy more than one issue. After all, at only $4.50 each, it’s quite a bargain. Just think of all the money you are currently saving by not buying that Starbucks drink every few days (at least, I assume that because of physical distancing, you’ve become your own barista; I don’t know, maybe you like to live on the edge and are still going…).

So bring yourself some joy as you physically distance, for about the same amount you would have spent on that Tall Iced Chai Tea Latte with almond milk*.
*that is my youngest daughter’s go-to drink, not mine. Personally, I am hankering after a Grande Royal English Breakfast Tea with room for milk...
