It has been a rough year for all the people living in Long Term Care homes during C-19. On Manitoulin there have been many workarounds for visiting initially with zoom visits and then gradually making room for in person visits with caregivers having weekly Covid tests, screening, temperature monitoring, donning masks and lots of hand washing. This is a painting of a dear Baha’i friend who is in the Manitoulin Lodge in Gore Bay. Alba is an extremely patient and prayerful woman.

Makes me want to take her glasses off so I can see her eyes. 😄
I would have like to see her smile. I was immediately attracted to a photo of Alba because of the glasses and mask, in the painting she is representing her generation who are struggling with restrictive access at a time when they most need companionship. On another note, she does enjoy the many deer that come up to her window in Gore Bay 😉
