So I feel like we have settled into a little routine or a new normal, as they are saying now, although we are all looking forward to (if not quite certain about) plans to ease restrictions and re-open businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a lot of questions about herd immunity, and whether this can be relied upon to protect us as we start going out in public again. How many would need to be immune and how long does immunity last? My thoughts are that if you are in a high risk category you should probably play it safe for a while yet, while if you are healthy you can probably have a little more faith in the ability of the medical system to take care of you should your case be more severe. However even a young healthy person should still avoid contact with those in high risk categories to keep them safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last weekend we had the opportunity to go out to Elbow Falls for a walk when the province re-opened the parking lots and staging areas at provincial parks. It was absolutely wonderful. We weren’t driving a convertible, but I think the feeling was the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week I disassembled the original 19 for Covid-19<\/em> sketchbook and gave the drawings each a couple coats of UV archival varnish in preparation to send them to their forever homes. We are in the final week of my first ever Limited Edition Print pre-sale <\/a>now. Prints will still be available to purchase for some images after the sale, however the portfolio will be sold separately thereafter. Also, as I now know a bit more about what PayPal fees, packaging for shipping and shipping fees will cost, I believe we will also be seeing an increase in the shipping & handling fee. So to get in on the pre-sale prices and the portfolio offer make sure you shop the pre-sale before it closes May 11th!<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have learned a lot about making art during Covid-19, doing a print sale, and selling art online since starting this project, I look forward to sharing my new insights with you on the blog and in future videos on my youtube channel. I don’t have a new video for you yet this week, I seem to be a bit behind on all the usual studio activities right now, but should be working on that later this week. Subscribe to make sure you don’t miss the videos on mu insights on selling art online, and what I’ve learned about making art because of Covid-19.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Sunflower Project news, Lorraine Appleby joined the project this week, and Sunflower Seed # 5 went out to her. Georgina K contacted me about her project inspired by the sunflower project. She has been leaving gifts of hand crafted fabric trees about for passers by, and left one for me on Friday too! Watch for those around your area if you are in Calgary!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
