Another day of lockdown and our government is working to study about the "Phase 2" (for us it will be the phase after the total lockdown, the phase when some activities could open again and people could go out from home respecting the social distancing and using the masks, sure).
At now, the dead line of the lockdown is the May 3th, so maybe the phase 2 will start in the April 4th (or maybe not, we don't know), but I'm thinking about the faces behind the masks.
When the lockdown will finished and we could go out from home not just for work (or special needs) maybe we will see just a lot of masks all around. Before of this drama, here in my area nobody use the face masks and I know it will strange to wear them for the most part of us, even if after about 2 months of lockdown we are ready to do it.
Maybe for a long time we have to see our friends, our relatives, all people around us with a mask on their faces and even if everyone knows it's necessary, it will be a little sad.
I'm watching a lot of funny memes about the masks and funny images all around about it, also some Easter Eggs and Easter Bunnies with a mask and they make me laugh, but I'm pretty sure in the future (in 5, 10 or 20 years) I'll always think about this dramatic time.
Some of my creative friends started to sew funny masks and, even if those kind of mask are not safe like the certified masks, I really appreciate people who's trying to share a bit of positive thoughts around thanks funny patterns.
I'm also watching a lot of artists all over the world who are working to paint people wearing masks and I like how art could "talk" about it.
I personally prefer to work on people without mask, because now more than before I feel the need to work on the faces, even if just representing them thanks to my paintings.
In this content you can see a couple of my past paintings. In the first pic there are 2 of my paper dolls I painted a couple of years ago and they make me think I could paint some new ones of them, because it's a funny and relaxing activity for me ^_^
Well, now I have to cook for dinner,
see ya soon!
