The British Isolation is a bit, well, British. We are allowed to go out as long as we are only from the same household and do not get near anybody else. Here I am with my orange coat very far from the photographer.
Katerina! where do you get such orange oranges? Greece of course , silly me. Lucky Katerina.
I woke up with very stiff legs. Obviously 'dribbling', that is the technical term for kicking a ball and walking at the same time I believe, for nearly a km is too much for me . Must do it more often
Fruits and veggies are over-flowing our supermarkets and grocery shelves...obviously, during this Covid Era there is no exporting to the north of Europe and beyond?
Katerina sent me an orange Greek orange! I would show you but I'm doing a John Gayer and saying I ate it (or rather, ning ate my image viewing and posting abilities).
Hi MI, about your problem with not having postage, I am also not going to the Post Office to buy stamps as I did BC, but I can have them delivery by post. I live in England, may be you can so the same over there.
I think both digital and analogue ways of making art are two different, unique and great branches of the big tree: creating art.
Speaking for myself, I - similar to you, Mail Art Martha - prefer taking a pen, pencil, brush in my one hand and feel the paper or canvas or whatever with the other. And personally spoken, I love to see drawings/paintings. (And as I am not good at cutting and sticking right I’d rather draw the collage than cut/glue (analogue or digitally) to make a collage).
I must say I love your drawing of the orange, PoRKeNiGMa!
My first impulse is to draw Heleen, but digital art of any kind is also very exciting, all those filters, and you never know with what are you going to end.
Digital art, I have found, is best suited to photocollage, which is quite traditional. As such it is great for political commentary and such like.
Porkenigma, I do not know which style of digital art is worse, No Rules is the Rule!
What I meant to say is some analog art has an easy transition to digital art but others you have a harder time capturing such as the aesthetics of a sculpture in a photograph. Some paintings have much more effect in real life due to chemical composition of the paint than what they show through a digital image.
There are some interesting emerging technologies such as embedded computer arrays that will capture a 3D object and translate its contours into a virtual reality object.

I went for a walk round the block to exercise and found a ball. And it was orange!
So I had to kick it around to bring it home and I found it was a very good exercise.
Here it is, parked by my front door for tomorrow.

Drawing is not my skill, I'm mainly a digital artist.
There's no orange pens at the convenience store, just red, black, and blue.

Thank you Heleen and on a subject very dear to me, I firmly believe that Digital Art does not exclude drawing, as the previous comment implies.

It all boils down to No Rules, friends!
My first impulse is to draw Heleen, but digital art of any kind is also very exciting, all those filters, and you never know with what are you going to end.
Digital art, I have found, is best suited to photocollage, which is quite traditional. As such it is great for political commentary and such like.
