E is for election, energy, ennui and will there ever be an end to this?

 #PostcardsfromthePandemic

Every time I look at the news I feel ill. Everyone I talk to feels the same way - no matter who they are rooting for.

 Yesterday I was amused by the fact that in conversations with seven different women, we all had this in common - we were all unable to sleep and up at 4 AM to check the news. Bad decision - and of course, and still, no answers to be had.

I am not the only one who is edgy right now - and the one thing that helps is keeping busy. That energy was apparent in the class I teach on Zoom each week - the work was especially beautiful and the laughter and conversation essential.

The art on this page is from a series using only primary colors from a simple watercolor palette to create shades of grey. The subdued colors reflect my mood. I am trying to stay hopeful and calm - and see the light.
