Isolation 2020
30"x 40" 
Oil on Canvas
 
Newly inspired by my recent move to San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. The streets and buildings are 500 years old and painted in brilliant shades from red ochre and deep yellows, to blues, greens and pinks. I captured a photo of this woman as she passed under the shadows  of the dying tree in front of the charming colored buildings. This building known as Casa Carly has been quaranting teens for six weeks at a time from Covid. I felt all the elements in this painting were both beautiful but also mysterious, and tell the story of our loneliness and isolation.
