In Our Times

A Daily Watercolor Almanac of the Day's News

---

Because we're living in such frightful times, in March, 2019, I started painting a watercolor based on a photo from the day's New York Times. I hope that together, they'll help me (us) make sense of what seems, right now, senseless.

This first section is images I made before I started planning to do an image each day.

The cut line for each includes the subject, the date, and the name of the photographer.
