Well, as you have probably figured I'm just like you with this CORID-19. Back in the good old days, two and a half weeks ago I was teaching my weekly classes, planning open house demos, group gallery shows, art league meetings, getting ready for 2020 workshops and framing work for a one-man show. In a week or so I say my well, planned year vaporizes at least for the next month or so.

​Dear Dale and Marilee ,
I can’t thank you enough for giving the Saturday art demonstrations. on Facebook. What a wonderful gift to everyone during this time of crisis. This will surely lift people’s spirit to watch you perform your magic.

On March 13th my wife, Marilee and I were shell shocked by a visit to Whole Foods for her Ladies' Luncheon shopping – kale and lemons. As we walked in we saw the produce department looking like a biblical locust attack wiped out the shelves and displays of meats, fruits, and veggies. The only vegetable left was kale!
From there Marilee said let's go sightseeing. We headed over to Strack & VanTil, a large local grocer in Northwest Indiana to see if they were wiped out too. The parking lot was full more than any Thanksgiving I can remember, the cart corrals were empty, all the registers were open and the lines extended to the back of the store! The managers looked as surprised as us. They worked swiftly and with a pleasant smile. Produce was well stocked, along with most everything else. The shoppers' carts were heaped full of paper products, pizzas, and white bread. The Hispanic food aisle was empty but the baby diapers were hardly touched. It took both of us two hours to process what we experienced. 

​The next day we rehashed how the world was changing because of the virus and what could we do locked-up in our house
​. My wife, Marilee calls this the newest episode of The Twilight Zone. I know these are challenging times but we are creative folk who often are self-distancing ourselves in our studios anyway. Frankly, we can handle this better than most.

We talked about going to the Northwoods but sadly we got a notice for snowbirds and second homeowners to stay away from Vilas County. 

Well, I figured I am in my studio trying some new reference materials and color palettes with this new free time. We then thought with the beauty of social media we could help folks by sharing my watercolor wisdom. I opened my studio door this past Saturday, March 21, 2020, at high noon est time on my Facebook live business page - Observer Artist Watercolorist Dale L Popovich IWS. I will do this till we are over this crisis.

As promised my personal links to favorite watercolors paints, brushes, papers, supplies and books I discussed in the video demonstration. My supply list and library web page is loaded full of information. When you are taking a studio class with me or a workshop I share a ton of information and that's what I want this page to do.
