Flight of the Masks Dorothe Horttor

Watercolor and Ink 12" x 9" $50

When I began this piece I was expecting that the need for medical masks for protection from the COVID-19 virus would soon wane. Wrong! In any event, I likened them to the migration of the Canada goose. I then took artistic license in order for the masks to be aeronautical: they looked like rockets. However, after looking at the masks I began to see them as some sort of pathogen skittering around looking for a host.
