If your paintings are like your children -- two of my paintings
are having an incredible adventure.  They were in a show in 
The Amsterdam Whitney Gallery New York City in December 2019,
and January 2020, and moved into a second month long show in February
in the Wall Street Art Space.  

That would have been considered a good time for most paintings,
but wait!  This work was scheduled to go into a second show
at the Wall Street Art Space  honouring International Women's Day,
and then the pandemic hit.  What have my paintings been doing since then?
Of course they're self isolating, and like everyone else in New York
City they're waiting for things to open up. And when they do
these lucky works of art will move into a new show in the "new
normal."

As for me their artist creator (Mommy), I just hope that they're 
okay, and they know it's fine with me if they sell, as long
as I know where they are, and could see them if I needed to.
