Self protection is the name of the game at the moment and I find concentrating on projects instead of following the news helps a lot. At the moment the news is almost completely swamped by Coronavirus. I wonder how long it will be until we see other news take over again. I think those countries taking the strongest measures will be those who get back to normal most quickly. I wish our government agreed with me, but they are taking the incremental approach and I don't want to watch the incremental disaster unfold.
I have finished my white roses painting. It was one of those paintings that worked without a fight. That is, without too many changes to the final product. The rule in acrylic and oil painting is to work from dark to light, whereas I come from a watercolour background where you work from light to dark. I have decided to work somewhere in the middle with acrylics and it is working for me.

White Roses and Salvia

This painting makes me think of my mother who would have turned 100 a few days ago if she was alive. She adored roses and painted them with skill.

A delicate arrangement and so pretty. It's lovely seeing how it all comes together.
