More than 4x (4.3 inches) the amount of snow forecast. Here's what things looked like around sunrise this AM. Remember, fall back tonight (this time I know what I'm talking about).
There's got to be a morning after
If we can hold on through the night
We have a chance to find the sunshine
Let's keep on looking for the light
Oh, can't you see the morning after?
It's waiting right outside the storm
Why don't we cross the bridge together
And find a place that's safe and warm?
It's not too late, we should be giving
Only with love can we climb
It's not too late, not while we're living
Let's put our hands out in time
There's got to be a morning after
We're moving closer to the shore
I know we'll be there by tomorrow
And we'll escape the darkness
We won't be searching anymore
March came in like a lion
with covid cancellations every day.
In April, sigh, we sat and cried
and hoped a change would come in May.
May was full of promises
but she couldn't keep 'em quick enough for some.
And for theaters, bands, and choruses
they're predicting that an end may never come.
But it's come for some.
You can feel it come.
While we superspreaders sit safe at home and feelin' glum. As restrictions start to ease - just in certain industries.
We're still home, stuck at home, glued to screens!
Zoom is bustin' out all over...
All over the internet until
it is safe to meet in person.
Cause for normalcy we're hurtin'.
Even staff meetings would feel like such a thrill!
Zoom is bustin' out all over!
This angle gives me a double chin.
I sure hope my boss has pants on
while I listen as he rants on.
Oh wait, you froze. Could you say that again?
Cause we're on Zoom!
Everything's on Zoom, Zoom, Zoom!
Socially distanced and safe at home,
Zoom makes me feel slightly less alone.
Zoom is bustin' out all over!
My whole day revolves around this app.
But my patience will expire if I hear one more virtual choir
who, without auto-tune, would surely sound like crap.
Zoom is bustin' out all over!
I'm countin' the days until July.
Cause this school year's never ending
and my fragile nerves need tendin'.
Oh I'm so stressed I think that I could cry.
Because of Zoom!
All because of Zoom, Zoom, Zoom!
Concerts are cancelled till who knows when?
Wonderin' if we'll ever sing again...
Zoom is bustin' out all over!
The new norm for people everywhere.
But the teachers and musicians in precarious positions
stare at screens all day while tearing out their hair!
Zoom is bustin' out all over!
The feelin's are gettin' so intense.
Got my therapist on speed dial - going crazy.
In the meanwhile, this show Tiger King don't make a lick of sense!
But we're on Zoom!
Everything's on Zoom, Zoom, Zoom!
It's Zoom, Zoom, Zoom!
Everything's on Zoom, Zoom, Zoom!

Here's that wonderful IFPDA presentation on Perspectives on Diversity in American Printmaking that I so liked and think I mentioned the other day.
And here is a photo I took this AM that I think is reminiscent of something by Escher. (It looks better if you click on it to see the full-size version.)
Here's a ~11 min. video touring one of the current shows @ the Met Museum in NYC. Eye opening to me is the section on 19th century French art. They certainly have Louisine Havemeyer to thank. Here's a list of pieces in the Met's collection attributed to here.
Glimpsing those galleries highlighting material acquired during the centennial in 1970 made me especially sad those galleries were closed when I was there in January. Seems a lifetime ago. Wonder when I'll get back there.
Just for giggles, here's their (one of my favorites) Clyfford Still collection. You have to imagine these pieces being at least 6 feet tall and many more feet wide. Au revoir, old friends.
Andrew Lear had an online version of one of his Shady Lady tours. This one, usually conducted in person in Paris, focused on Colette and Coco Chanel. Here are some screen shots from the presentation. In case you're curious & don't know, LBD means little black dress. Each presentation started
A talk presented by the IFPDA featuring artists David Barthold, and Wardell Milan, and Armin Kunz, print scholar and managing partner of managing partner of C.G. Boerner. Mr. Kunz focused on how prints from their very beginning in the 15th century were used politically. Mr. Barthold talked about prints he began making recently and posting around his Brooklyn neighborhood, and Mr. Milan about a print series prompted by his responses to current events. The whole thing is now on Youtube.
