Quarantine through Art

 


Dear You, 

maybe you know this video already. I was so glad when my friend Anne sent it to me! It made my day. 

Hope yours too! 

Yours Truly, 

Britta

  1. That's great Britta, I enjoyed it. I have not seen it before. And I can thoroughly recommend studying a painting closely to pass the time. Thank you for sharing it and thanks to your friend too.

    1. Thank you, Rachel! I do have an App (for free) which allows me to look each day at a painting, with a bit of text, and often very surprising subjects.
      In the Appstore give in "Daily Art" - there you will find it. Stunning!

  3. People are so clever. I would not have thought to find relevant art to make the video.

    1. Dear Emma, me neither. But the idea is great - and when our museums are open again, I want to go there and look if I can find paintings to special themes - just for fun.

  4. Excellent. And who knew those great subjects were in quarantine. Poor Mona Lisa.

    1. Dear Joanne, I always regret that we cannot meet in person - I believe that we two would laugh a lot! I love your dry humour - and the change of perspective, to see Mona in quarantine : fabulous!

  5. This is ingenious. We all need a way to pass the time and feel productive and engaged. Thank you for sharing this.

    1. Dear Susan, I was so glad too when my friend Anne sent me that! "Productive" and "engaged" - that's it, and as I try to see also the good in a situation which I do not like, here I see that it makes me take time to find out which sort of productivity I prefer.

  6. It's very clever and lovely. It came into my email box earlier this week & I feel terribly fashionable for being not the last to hear of something for a change!

    1. Wow, Pipistrello - ain't it good to feel that way?
      Being on the qui vive is very invigorating! Au reservoir!

    1. I think that everything that makes our heart cheerful and our mind work is good - and art always has done that.
