Art in the Time of Corona Virus

[ Model with Medical Mask, From Life, 20 Minutes ]

The virus situation in Montreal is currently in a lull. My napkin-estimate is 1/200 people walking around spreading. That’s assuming it’s 10x worse than tested-numbers, and, that all of Quebec’s infected are in Montreal itself. (In other words, a cautious estimate, but not paranoid).

That seems not too bad? On a given subway trip, the odds are only one person is a carrier.

And so, I went out for the first time in a long long while to a figure drawing group.

I don’t know why, but I was surprised the group was well attended. We were all masked, including the model of course. In a way, that’s disappointing, but in another way it makes the sketch a record of this time.
