Oil on board 10X10 inches

Living out in the sticks, there is often a feeling of isolation, and it is how I like it. With the isolation extended for everyone, the outside world is coming into step and slowing down. Radio and television entertainment has little new content often with repeats and even the bills seem to be slowing to a trickle. The postbox is light.

This abstract oil painting paraphrases Dope Lemon's ethereal 'Honey Bones'. The 'stamp' in the top right corner and tally chart noting days tick by without name, as a castaway might mark the rising and setting of the sun. Multiple crosses stack up and become one. Blue-skied days follow one after the other as our season warms into summer.
