“To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts.” —Henry David Thoreau
Since the coronavirus pandemic quarantine, I see lots of families and walkers, and bicycles passing by the corner where I live. Everyone is home, spending time with their families, getting some fresh air, and basically avoiding going crazy during the "stay at home" quarantine.
I was trying to think of ways to make folks feel connected with each other, without violating the quarantines!
So, I created ….
“Christina’s Outdoor Art Gallery!”
My home office, a converted porch also sits on the corner of our property. While watching all the folks pass by, I started thinking about how all the museums, art shows, and festivals are either canceled or postponed and how there are all these folks right outside my door! And, how can I add a smile to their day and break the monotony of day after day of having nowhere to escape!
I had this nutty idea to make an Outdoor Art Gallery to spread some smiles and a bit of cheer during these times of too much sickness and too much dying. (Click on photo above to view the video.)
It is so exciting to see all the adults and kids stopping, looking and taking photos of the art! It’s amazing! It makes the passers-by happy and it makes me happy!
