Watercolor of deer eating in an empty parking lot in Japan during the quarantine.
The Quarantine was such a strange time. Each day I walked my dog for miles in the quiet streets of the edge of Boston. Throughout the rest of the world, as we retreated, animals began to take back some of our “human” spaces. These deer were spied eating in an empty parking lot in Japan. This “anthropause” as the Quarantine is also called, inspired me to paint the animals. They took over neighborhoods and streets. They are welcome to “my” spaces any time.
