May and Rain

We watched our gardens do nothing. The month seemed to grow longer and longer. In my studio, more attention was paid to reflecting and working small. I applied to many things and was not chosen. Grateful for a relief check and unemployment, love, food. I am learning to cope with being one with nature. I love people who love me. Enduring the rise and fall of contacts, Zoom calls, long phone calls. No visitors. My closest friends stopped for me, gave me the needed fresh eyes on my art, listened, and spoke great thoughts. We talked about how to share but make money too. More work and sharing outside of the limited home lead me to people and a few sales. My relationships grew deeper and more meaningful and so did my paintings to me.
