Prior to all this COVID stuff I started a project
to chronicle my year with daily senryu's.

Recently I have been told to take a day's leave every week.
Needed to do something to make the 'lost' time productive.

  4. Lovely work indeed; time well-spent. I notice that I'm filling up about twice as many journal pages as I usually do, these days...

  9. Painted or out on the water? Either way it's a good way to spend the time and not see anyone.

  17. Loved the artwork … in and of itself … and as an expression of 'proof' ~ smiles ~ as a number of people working from home have shared with me the ways in which they are 'proving' their time is well spent.

  18. I am impressed with your artistic ability. Perhaps you could compile photos of your lockdown paintings and accompany them with poems. The compilation would make a good book.
