Corona Virus Culture continued
Updated: Aug 2, 2020
(I’m republishing today’s blog (first published April 2020) in support of our family and friends in Victoria.)
I am a writer, so to be cutting a pasting wonderful things from the web makes me feel like I am not doing my job. I admit, for someone who (pre-COVID-19) attended at least one cultural event a week I am finding it difficult to provide content.
Forgive me and smile with me as I continue to roll out the work of some incredibly fun, talented and bored people who are also in social isolation but creating content to the delight of us all.
How much fun is the little boy on the right having? Have grown-ups ever been so playful!

And how exquisite are both these Ladies with Fans?

No husband was harmed in the making of this recreation.

This woman’s face painting has totally nailed Cubism

Another parent with questionable dietary habits

I am a ballet nerd so this one is a favourite.
Image: ‘Anna Pavlova as the Dying Swan’ artist unknown (by me:) … but what a talented pussycat.
I do so hope you checked last week’s comic genius Robin Williams.
This week I’m sharing something more contemporary.
