Wrapping Up the Thoughtful Isolation Project
The original photograph.
The last entry was received the first week in September. We are working to organize them into a digital record. When all is ready, we will have close to sixty wonderful works to show to each other!
A date will be chosen for our potluck gathering and sharing of art work as soon as we get the Covid green light from the Abbot.
We will be in touch with all the painters soon!
