At the end of another day of homeschool during the Coronavirus lockdown of 2020, I sat in the evening sun and took a few moments to myself. It was an unprecedented time, and it left me both physically and mentally exhausted, so I was surprised to have the energy or creativity to create this little self portrait. To me, it is a reminder of that time, with the sunflower seedlings on the windowsill showing the promise of the future, and that nature would carry on even as the human world had ground to a halt
