Thanks for visiting.
Hi,
I hope you are all feeling OK. There is a lot of news on about the spread of the Corona virus Covid 19.
Here's what cdc.gov (Center for Disease Control in America) has to say: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/faq.html about the source of the Corona Covid-19 virus.
Here's a URL for NIH, National Institute of Health in America, a respected medical institution: https://www.nih.gov/health-information/coronavirus
Check out the World Health Organization pages also.
Here's a link to Mayo Clinic (again, a well known, respected medical institution): https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/category/covid-19/
You can copy and paste the urls as I dont think I can add active links here.
In America we are being told to use social distancing and hand washing to protect against the virus and flatten the curve of its spread.
I hope that if the delay in producing a vaccine is because of slow computers available for analyzing data, that some super fast computer will be made available to the medical professionals working on this serious problem.
My company, Art Promotions, "Paintings, Prints, & Productions" (which is just myself currently), will continue to paint, and upload prints to fineartamerica & pixels, however, for the near future, I will be curtailing filmmaking projects that involve interactions in real time with groups of more than six or travel. I am awaiting communications from fineartamerica about any other impact on art product production that their factories may potentially experience as a result of the virus, so I may let my supporters, patrons, collectors know.
Also, while people can continue to view and order products online, for the time being, until the government recommends otherwise, sale of my originals via my home studio & office is put on hold. These sales are normally by appointment only. I will not be accepting any more appointments for selection and sale of originals at my home studio until further notice. Of course, if someone has already selected a painting they really want, and pay by Pay Pal or credit card online first, then I will be happy to leave the purchased original on the front porch at a designated time for pick up by the buyer or a shipping delivery service. Just call or text me. Or write me at kfrancis427 @ gmail. com
All for now. Stay well. --Karen E. Francis
