Happy Sunday to you all. I know this time is a difficult time and a lot of us are in lockdown, but I like to have some positive thoughts in my mind and so I spent the week end paintings in my lab (that is part of my home) and enjoying some moments under the sun in my backyard.
Ysterday my mood was a bit down (as you can understand, I had some not lovely thoughts about the future, not just about tha health, but also about the economy in my country) and when I feel myself a bit down, there's nothing better than to paint in freedom in my lab. Pumping the music on the ear buds, yesterday I worked on something new: an artwork I wanted to place on the window so people who will walk on the street to go to work or to buy food, could see something that (I hope) will give them hope.
I decided to work in front of the window in my lab. There was nobody out of there and sure, everything looks so surreal. I always used to cover that window with a white curtain, so I can have enough natural light, but nobody can watch me while I'm working. During these days the streets are desert. It was strange to work on my paintings in front of that desertI decided to work in front of the window in my lab. There was nobody out of there and sure, everything looks so surreal.

It was strange to work on my paintings without the curtain.
At the end, when I finished the artwork, I wrote on it the words "Ce la faremo" that in italian means "We will make it" in the meaning that we are all strong and we can fight all this horrible drama.
I hope you like it!
See ya soon and remember: clean your hands, respect the social distancing and stay at home more than you can, all together we can do it!
