Where have all the Children Gone?

The title is based on the poem/song written by Joseph Kerschbaum. My 16x20 acrylic speaks of todays' pandemic times, when our children are forbidden to use the playgrounds.  All remains are their laughter, gestures and entities. #acrylicart #covid19artexhibit #ontarioartist #stayathome #artoftheday
