Book excerpt: "A View From My Window" is a series of watercolor paintings I created during the COVID-19 lockdown. The series began when I joined a group on Facebook that has members from around the globe who post a picture of the view from their window. I found myself transported around the world to the most beautiful sights. I asked permission of each photographer to use their image in a painting, and the series came to life. This portfolio shows a display of the painting I made and the photograph I chose. Each piece touched me in a different way. I selected out of thousands of pictures the following 40 images to paint. They range from places like California, New York, Idaho, Nova Scotia, South Africa, Denmark, Italy, Germany, and more. I found myself transported to other lands while painting these pieces. They brought me peace during a difficult time. This series depicts the beauty in the world seen during the dark time of a pandemic.
