Palette Cleanser #18

Looking over the blog I must be over 150 paintings since January, after slowing down in 2017 to maybe 50 paintings a year this is a big increase. When 2020 came along I knew that I wanted to ramp up, in fact, I had a terrible cold from October to December 2019 that knocked me down a peg, so 2020 started out as a clean slate. Each decade I have tried to reset my art mentality a little, and this year the plan was to plan... as in, plan out some series and get my art into a more palatable format (pun intended). Then COVID-19 came along and turned everyone's life upside down, and gave us more spare time! Being under quasi house arrest made people including me stir crazy. The interesting thing is that I may stick with some of these habits, now that I know how to get up at 5am and be on location, its something I can do before work. We will see. Today I did 2 more Green Line Stations, which means I have only 6 left to reach the full 27 stations. This palette cleanser was meant to be an astrocyte (a type of brain cell) and a blood vessel, with antibodies attacking it. It could be a COVID-19 vaccine too, neutralizing the virus.
