The Covid -19 virus has altered our
lives probably forever. All of the artists activities have been
suspended for the time being. Hopefully, we will in the near future
be able to have the First Friday Art Walks resumed, the Museum open,
and the markets featuring the many articles and artist demonstrations
that have made our Artists Alley world famous.
As an artist I find that it is
confounding that there are not the interactions between our art
groups that make us feel challenged, inspired, and give us
opportunities to show our works. We work on in our studios, and the
great outdoors which give us the energies that flow from the natural
world of wonderments. The images that folks have of the artist in the
upstairs garret as a lone creative force don't know that the
interactions with other artists are the infusions of encouragement
that keep the lone artist in the studio going with works of
creativity.
I look forward the reopening of The
Artists Alley Collective and the many other groups who inhabit this
place which I could see great art events thriving, so long ago when I had the first gallery and
studio in The Alley. I paint on, with the birdsong and the summer
sunshine giving me succor and inspirations during this challenging
time of this great American Challenge of sharing the responsibility
and the courage to keep us safe.
