The best thing I did today was fix that kid on the slide from yesterday, fix his top arm. It was a stick. Now it is an arm.
It is spring break at the university in Japan, my time to paint. I practice social distancing this season every year.
The air is heavy with corona fear. It creeps into my painting.
Parks and playgrounds in Tokyo are full. The schools are closed. Mothers go nuts with the kids inside. So all the kids come to bump and touch in the park.
Are my paintings topical?
My next exhibition is October. I’m thinking we will not have forgotten corona by October, but it will be a whole lot less interesting by then.
