If you missed it in June/2020 when COVID-19 was just getting under way, here it is again.  Phil Anderson sent out a call for pandemic portraits, and artists sent in their work from across the world. These portraits are unlike any others. There were so many submissions they became overwhelming, and many of them show a wonderful sense of humor. We need that now more than ever in 2021.
