Finished a self portrait today.

16. Oh thank you, Lunatica. I had a north window to my left so I had soft, consistent light.

Life is feeling more normal again. I live in Connecticut where the infection rate has stayed relatively low after the initial spike, although it's moving up again now. But I'm not laid off anymore, I work alone in the office and can often work from home, and most important, my mom's pneumonia wasn't due to Covid-19. For a while, the hospitalization affected her dementia and it was a while before she could speak, but she is able to say short sentences now, and she seems to understand most of what I say to her, judging by her facial expressions.

I'm still suffering from insomnia and migraines, but less frequently. I've been drinking some calming herbal tea in the evenings and it is helping.

Thank you for such an in-depth and encouraging critique. It is a real kindness to all of us DU artists.
