Rainfrogs: pandemic alternatives to hugs and greetings

Some greetings can remain the same, anything involving putting hands up is timeless and universal, perfect for any occasion.

There is a range of new age hugs developed over the 10 months. Here is a formal type of alternative hug for congratulating people you know.

Here we can see an example of a more friendly alternative hug, as you can see, the arms are almost touching, but gracefully miss.

A beginner level alternative pandemic hug, no dance skills required. The key is to do a regular hug but reversed. This is also the perfect position to share chip updates after your vaccine.

Here we can see a pretty intimate gesture. As you can see it involves putting a hand on another creatures face, so this is more of a nostalgic moment, a remainder from the time you could do that. If you do this the recipient will be taken back to a simpler time and will be able to relax for a minute.

Abstract raven paintings (Ink art)

My eye started twitching from joy, I saw a jackdaw looking for food and it found a bug, picked it up and went to a nearby puddle to wash it before eating. What a neat little dinosaur.

Had some fun too, painting smoky ravens is always a great feeling. Splash splash! I added four new artworks on paper.

Get some ink and get to painting!

Early morning (landscape painting)

Acrylic painting on canvas, about 12 x 12 inches (30 x 30 cm).

Early morning Southern Estonian landscape. I was trying to think of a place that I’d love to walk into in the morning and remember all of the elements that give out a sense of calm.

Cows of Eastern Europe (Drawings)

I thought I might have some fun drawing cows and here they are. I paint them with ink and onto canvas. All of them are added to the shop and can be shipped worldwide.

Here is a diamond cow, she is really a hardcore cow with a crystal clear goal to eat green grass all day and be suspicious about vans.

***

Here is the strawberry city cow, she is really extremely pumped because she is high on pesticides all day.

***

Here is the cow enjoying a nice walk in the botanical garden in the fish pond. She hasn’t been out for a while so not sure of the etiquette entirely, so to blend in she eats the roses and pees on a bee to establish dominance, builds a house underwater like a beaver and lets her kids stare at the ducklings until the ducks get angry and grow back into dinosaurs and start hunting cows for revenge. #Blessed

Here is the cow in the middle of a trust fall, she has a good cow support so she will be fine, but there is one cow stuck in the bog so a bit problematic and another one is out of the equation because she is too nervous to watch this. Cows don’t have enemies among the group.
