Text and Illustration by Miki de Goodaboom

These are difficult times for everybody. But although we have here in Spain one of the toughest lock-downs in the whole world, and although my freedom of movement is to me more important than most goods, I count myself among the luckiest people from all the millions in quarantine.

Because I still can do what I love.

I write.

I read.

And mostly: I paint!

As my French countryman and impressionist master Claude Monet said:

“What keeps my heart awake is colourful silence.”
