Bonnie Dixon My World Turned Upside Down Oil on canvas in wooden float frame 18.25 x 25.25 $600

"This is an oil painting showing the Robinson River with high water and a large, splintered tree between the narrow access road to my own home and our neighbor's pasture. Originally named, The End, because there is no other way in or out--a painting with a story to tell. Then came 2020 and I sheltered here social distancing with gratitude for nature accessible in its seasons and forms, pets, books, computer, and the many comforts I took for granted. I do not have a studio at home and my art supplies were in a rented studio I did not use for fear of Covid exposure. During this time, my husband experienced serious health issues. The year 2020 was spent reassessing values and meaning. It came to me that turning this painting upside down is a way to show others how I feel about the experience."
