Stay-At-Home ART!

Since a picture is worth 1000 words, here's what Phil has been doing these past few weeks. The galleries where he has his art are closed, so he's building up a inventory of new pieces. A couple are also shown on previous blogs. Each image is carved out of either Monkey Pod or Koa wood, and then hand painted.

Spring is here, so Leo Lunel is continuing to develop landscaping plans, buying plants and directing our charming young yard man Marcus where to dig holes since her knees simply won't allow her to do some of her regular work. She is following up with her orthopedic surgeon to move ahead with bilateral knee replacement as soon as hospitals are accepting elective surgeries.

She continues to work on collage projects.

COVID19 ART

Isolation, grief, prayer, death, protection
The King is Dead
As the Covid19 pandemic has expanded so too has the anxiety, fear, isolation and helplessness for many people. For Lunel it has again triggered some PTSD symptoms, but she has returned to ART in response, developing a series of COVID19 ART!! Below are samples of the series to date, done in her unique style. Some are very detailed, so "click" on any for better look-see.

Dealing?? So Not!

We've been listening to great music in our studio (where there is no phone). Here are just a couple that we feel have good lyrics in response to COVID.  Links to each if you'd like to listen, but do check out the lyrics.
