During The pandemic no shows or art classes have happened. Some Online shows have been available like The Society of Washington Artists. I did try to expand my art world by taking an oil portrait workshop last year. I had not done oils for 25 years but enjoyed getting back to oil painting again. I have not completed any portrait of my grandchildren though. lyndaravenbrakewatercolors@outlook.com
