Artist Space

Emily Davidson and Stuart Lorimer

According to  Save World Draw, 2020, both painters in Canada gallery⁠ have been doing their best to adapt to the pandemic. One of the major benefits is that their creative focus has been sharpened. “Normally the hardest thing about getting to our studio is simply shutting out the noise of the surrounding world⁠—saying ‘no’ to art openings, dinners, or get-togethers with friends,” According to Davidson, “with virtually all other activity on hiatus, painting is ironically one of the places we can actually escape to.

Then Lorimer claimed that “I’m feeling distracted and anxious about distant family and what things will be like after this passes regarding work and art.” With the use of biking and walking around in local parks they were able to take fabulous pictures that might eventually turn into paintings.

My Artist space

Adapting to the covid restrictions similar to that of  "Emily Davidson and Stuart Lorimer" I also went around taking pictures to give me ideas of what to paint or print. Exploring the city centers as I gaze the sunset going down over time.
