Original watercolor painting on 300lb paper - 8"x 8"
Watercolor of dolphin sited in Istanbul as the water cleared during the quarantine. (Some people attribute it to Venice but most say the photo is from Istanbul.)
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. This dolphin was spied in the unusually clean and quiet waters off of Instanbul. This “anthropause” as the Quarantine is also called, inspired me to paint the animals. They took over neighborhoods, streets, and waterways. They are welcome to “my” spaces any time.
