Most of us tend to stay at home due to the recent pandemic COVID 19 and I’m no exception. I work at home, buy things online, and when going out, its grocery stores, and clinics which are in walking distance. I re-started to practice yoga in the class, which is very popular so I have to go to the gym very early to secure my position. The gym is limiting the number of participants to avoid infection. In another gym, participants have to draw a stick (lottery) to be selected, because there are so many participants wishing to join the yoga class in the limited space.
During this strange time, I do not have to travel by public transportation, in which as a result I have more time at home. I can cook and of course paint more at home.Also it is a good opportunity to straighten out mess at home. On the other hand, I feel scared and sad because still many people are infected. The painting below is titled “Mixed Feeling” 36”x47”, ©Kikuko Sakota Art. This is the one being exhibited in the group show, Stream 2020, Gallery Art Point, Tokyo now.
