Mina Ferrante

Quarantine with My Dog Mina Ferrante Watercolor on Cold Press Paper 16" x 20" $650

During the first eight weeks of the pandemic quarantine, I enjoyed living my days at a slow pace. I did not rush through my day like I usually do. I really observed what was going on around me. One day, I walked into a room and saw my son Micangelo playing his guitar. I stopped and looked at the way the sun was shining on him and thought how beautiful that moment was. I want to capture this moment because I know my eighteen-year-old son will fly away from our nest someday soon. I’d better enjoy the moment of togetherness while it lasts.
