Spring is Coming even with Coronavirus

I was looking back at the blogs from the pandemic time period and decided to repost them :). My daffodils are in full bloom and the tulips are peeking through the ground in defiance of the Coronavirus crisis unfolding all around us. 

Spring is Coming

Even in this unprecedented time with the Coronavirus pandemic, spring is showing in little clumps of color, in the daffodils and little crocus peeking through the ground.  Every day I try to take a short walk around my yard and down the street, keeping my social distance, and I find nature and the signs of spring hopeful. It always helps to find one thing of beauty each day.  The Daffodils and pansies painting is for sale and can be found on the flowers page

Our duck pair has come back and they are again sitting in the backyard, making it their own and the robins are splashing in the bird bath. I have also started my spring garden of lettuce, spinach and radishes. Gardening in the yard is a great activity to get out of the house while social distancing. It is a stress reliever.

COMMISSIONED ART

I have also been working on a new commissioned pet portrait, which I gave to a charity event, GiGi’s Playhouse.  It was won by a couple who have Riggs, an adorable Westie. The painting is still in process, but should be finished very soon. For more information on my commissioned work, see my Commissions Page.

About The Author

Dr. Susie

I reside in Northeast Ohio after traveling from coast to coast and living in both rural and metropolitan areas from Los Angeles to New York and of course the Midwest. I am an author and third generation artist and have been painting since the early 1960s. I have always cared deeply about animals, both domestic and wild, and the preservation of endangered species, has always been a concern as well. Most recently, I was involved in animal rescue work, finding homes for over 11,000 dogs and cats over the previous 12 years. It's only natural then, that I am drawn to animals and nature for my art subjects. I have also explored the metaphysical including creative imagination, Reiki, crystal healing, tai chi, feng shui and yoga and feel they add depth to my art as well. By creating an emotional connection for the viewer I hope my artwork will create concern and compassion for our natural world and its wild inhabitants, and help stimulate conservation efforts. My love of historic buildings and their conservation led me to doing the house portraits and my architectural works
