Original watercolor painting on 300lb paper - 8.25" x 8"
Watercolor of an elephant seal asleep against a wall in an empty town in Argentina 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. This elephant seal was photographed alone in the streets of Argentina. 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.
