Once upon a time, people congregated in close proximity to each other; then they didn’t.
All was good. We have since experienced a separation of the masses. Weird as it was, we all became accustomed to having our personal space be, well, personal. For a long time, one didn’t get close enough to bump into anyone.Taken from a photo of the Farmers Market or a downtown street festival, this painting shows how close we once were. To make it more personal to paint, I gave many of them names – Lisa, Laura, Carol, Zach and Rod.
Market Square was back to bustling recently with the chalk walk, one of my favorite downtown events. The crowd was back! I even “bumped” into a few friends. It’s a beautiful spring, get out and enjoy!
