This painting on a polaroid was made on March 21st, it was the first time in awhile that I had finally gotten some free time. I had always had a passion for artsy activities although I was never good at them. I looked around my desk and found a ruined polaroid laying around so I thought I’d turn it into something pretty. When quarantined, I had a lot of time to think about what I wanted to do when I got the chance to be out in the world freely again. I had wanted to see the cherry blossoms and maybe one day rack up enough money to travel to Japan and experience that. But with a lot of time on my hands and my sudden interest to paint at 10 at night, I grabbed my paint and brushed and started to paint the things I loved. This COVID-19 experience has opened my eyes to the goals I want to achieve as well as hobbies I want to experience, but of course I miss what I had before this pandemic, which is my friends and fresh air.
