By Sept. 2020, I understood that the social and travel limitations, due to the Pandemic, would necessitate changes to my life/work schedule. I gave up my NYC painting studio and moved 110 miles upstate, to the Hudson Valley, to be out of the city, and near my family, specifically my two adorable grandsons. There, I found myself surrounded by tall trees and not much else. These are the pieces that came from my time there.
