One year ago in March, to protect our students and teachers from a new coronavirus, the Seattle Artist League moved our classes online. The virus was declared a national emergency, and we went into quarantine. We have now been in quarantine for thirteen months.
Through this year, we have met each other online to draw, paint, print, and share community. In a time of hardship and isolation, it was good to meet and make work together. New teachers and students – now free to teach and take classes anywhere in the world – came to join us. In the last year, the League has grown in numbers, and our artistic voice as a school has evolved.
This collection of artworks has been grouped with no association of genre, medium, artist, or online class. They have been selected and placed here so that they can complement each other, just as we hang a gallery wall for one of our all-inclusive Big League Anniversary shows.
This is one in a series of posts featuring artworks produced through this pandemic. In this terrible year, we have made some good artworks.

These are some paintings in which my favorite part is the wall. Enjoy. Do not paint a white thing white. A white thing is everything other than white. The video below illuminates some of the colors actually present in an image of a white horse, and a white flower. Because colors change according to what they’re next to, they still …
