Good lesson here in perspective with so many different objects. Your composition in arranging them is excellent, especially the color choice for the rubber gloves. I hope you are staying healthy!

    oh yeah..i just retired from walmart this past may..got me away from all that mess just in time..it did get scary in march and april..walmart did give us PPE nor set up the cashiers plastic barrier till the end of april..i mean your right ontop of the customers..i got lucky..i was their forklift operator so i was away from most of the customers. however i still had to go into the store to clock in or out..means its fun trying to avoid a crowded store that is panicing over toilet paper, etc..lol..thanks for the great review.

An interesting picture of these items of Personal protective Equipment. Plaid out ready for use when needed. Created by your artist's eye for composition very skilful draftsmsnship beautiful choice blending & application of your colours in bringing this scene to life.

Comment from mamamary


You have portrayed these times very truthfully. There is one thing missing, though. All of that toilet paper people were buying when the Pandemic began. Perhaps you were late to the store or used all of yours. There is a lot of detail in this drawing. Especially on the Lysol can. I appreciate that.

    i agree toilet paper is retail issue ( i retired from walmart this past may) however when it comes to for the tools needed to fight covid these items are it..the toilet paper would keep you from smelling and your booty clean but i dont think it will fight off covid..remember the newspaper, brown bags and corn cobs? we humans know how to figure it out how to clean it..live by the sea? lets say sea shells can be useful as well..dont hang near an oyster bar!! eeeeewwwwwwwww.wink wink....lololol..thanks for the awesome review.

    I totally missed the point. When I saw the items my mind went immediately to toilet paper. Perhaps if you are stinky enough, COVID will stay away?

This is our life now and this art reflects exactly what we are dealing with day to day basis. The details and color composition of the art works is mind blowing. The realistic look and touch are well versed through art work. A picture says a million words and this art work just says how our life today. Great work

Maybe we like to draw flowers because they are pretty and it takes us away from all this other dreary way of life for most of us, we here about this virus everyday over and over again, flowers I paint makes me forget just for a moment how the world will never be the same,

    If that helps you calm your mind and practice on your work that's cool. Thanks for the good review
Comment from Monica Morrell


This is a perfect still life contest entry. Yes imaginative creative and clever.
This art should be placed in a time capsule and hope the future population never have to experience this virus again or any other virus.
I hope the image in my head never comes to be with all of us living in plastic suits and big acrylic ball heads.
A perfect contest entry for the current still life we live.

MKFlood,

I enjoyed reading your notes...Especially your last lines. You've got a real historic, artistic work here!

Yes, it is not a pleasant scene or the representation is not exactly pleasant, but it is reality today. Of course, I wear a mask almost never and don't use gloves or lysol or take the fake vaccine, but I do occasionally use bleach and I think my bathroom may be calling out to her now.

Back to your art. Super cool! Super relative to reality. Nice contrasts and colors and your talent shines brightly here.

Anna
