finding solace in art

I spent the morning with Ezra working on some sidewalk chalk since the weather is finally starting to warm up (high of 48 today!). We loved this project and have similar ones in our back pocket for next week as well.

The rest of the day was spent preparing. With the official lockdown happening tomorrow afternoon, I needed to swing by the studio and pick up all my gear. I did this in case I get hired for a studio shoot while everything is shut down (product shots done remotely) and because I’m a little nervous about crime in commercial buildings right now.

It was a sad errand to run on many levels. I think you all know how much I love my studio and the peace it brings me to work there, so I left it today with a heavy heart, not really knowing what the future will bring or when I can return.

Then I came home and snuggled with Ezra in his giant fort while we listened to Taylor Swift and I scratched his back. It was nice.

We also had our last batch of groceries delivered for a long time along with a trip to the hardware store (curbside pickup) for the tape in these art projects. If you are having things delivered or are picking up curbside, this video is fantastic at teaching you how to keep your house free of the virus.

By the way, if anyone has a lead on disinfecting wipes, please let me know. In most cases soap and water are fine, but I would like some to wipe down my cameras/phones on occasion, and I think those are best for electronics. Thanks!
