#iorestoacasa: La Storia di Irina

I am Russian. I am American. I am Biologist, and I am an artist, a mother, wife, grandmother, tennis player, gardener, and cats/chickens/fish owner. I like to play piano and read a lot. Two of my most printed for sale paintings are “Orvieto” and “Morning in Orvieto”. Yes, I like to travel, mostly to beloved Italy. For summer 2020 I made my itinerary in October 2019 and booked apartments in Rome and Sardinia. I planed to check out Corsica for 5 days and for that only reason began to learn French online ( I can speak Italian a little bit, but it is too limited to write this story ). Last year I used acrylics in Castelsardo. This year I wanted to try watercolors on those two islands. I heard about incredible colorful rocks of Corsica. My college was closed yesterday, and now I need to learn how to teach online. Still can paint at home and listen to Vivaldi or Handel. Read, cook, clean, play. Go to my garden to forget about world going mad. We have to survive this time together. Listen to each other. Make new friends…yes, just online for now, believe, we could travel and see each other and our beautiful planet again.
