July 24, 2020

The weekly figure painting group broke up a week before lockdown. Needless to say there was a lot of anxiety about what was happening. I was trying to finish my boat. I couldn’t by paper goods. My wife’s office shut down and she moved her work home. I was shocked by the severity and swiftness of events. Finishing the boat was hard. Finding even nuts and bolts was difficult. It’s done and is a great boat. I finished it last week. Now it’s time to get back to painting.
