Coronavirus Doesn't Shut Down Painting!

I was able to sell more than 20 paintings online during the Covid-19 shut down.
I had to shut down my art gallery for most of March and April to comply with national and state precautions due to the Coronavirus. So I just moved my painting studio to my home and went to work. Turns out my painting production actually went up. So with all my new paintings I side-stepped the shutdown by having a couple of online sales for my media followers and previous collectors. They came through and we had a sell-out, which got me through the shut-down in better shape than most businesses. Thanks to everyone who support me.

Plein Air During the Coronavirus Shut-down

My kind of social distancing - Roland Lee plein air painting

Painting in the southern Utah desert

My trusty art assault vehicle (1988 Toyota Pickup with Six Pack Camper)
We weathered the Coronavirus shut down by moving my painting gear to my home and working there for awhile. I actually got quite a lot of painting done during that time, but got restless and ventured out in my art assault vehicle and did quite a bit of painting out in the desert. My idea of social distancing.
