Lemonade from Lemons / by Debbie Slowey Raguso

This lockdown from the pandemic has caused so many changes.

I see the lemons first hand because I get my income at this point from hospital work, which is steady and not so time-consuming. The glass of lemonade I am drinking is new people connections I am making all over the world to help my art business because people are hooking up via the internet.

I now find more than a glass, but a pitcher of lemonade.

Surgery cases, once again, have slowed to a trickle. ( a little ice in that glass of lemonade)

It is hot in summer Florida, but I am excited to be refreshed with the awakening of internet classrooms.

I am taking a class at the PAFA a masters level crit.

I am taking a class at the NYAA in the traditional dutch still life technique.

PAFA crit conversations are inspiring my sketchbooks and ideas, and here is my first imprimatura from my NYAA classroom.
