Ready to hang.
Done relatively quickly July 13th 2020. 
Fait avec le plus de "lâcher prise" possible, seuls les choix de couleurs (orange, brun, jaune pour le bas & variantes de bleus pour le haut) ayant été faits avant de peindre.
Le titre fait allusion aussi bien au COVID 19 qu'à l'été et aux plaisirs de la mer.
En bas à droite, en rouge sur fond orange, la formule chimique du médicament Remdesivir, assez prometteur en attendant mieux.
Au milieu en bas en gris sur fond blanc, déjà presque entièrement effacée, celle de l'inefficace Chloroquine qui avait suscité des espoirs.

- Photo: Naples, Italy, March 2019 - Born April 1947, married, 2 children, 5 grand children. - Graduated in economics, then swiss banker in private banking from 1974 to 2007. - Started drawing in travel sketchbooks (self taught) at the age of 48 in 1995, and painting much later in 2007 at the age of 60. - Former "urban sketcher", from 2020, writer of historical novels. My desire to paint comes from the interest for expressing something aesthetic or gaudy, for finding an unstable equilibrium, for experimenting with different approaches, for renewal, testing, trying. Even though I’ve done mini-series, I don’t like to stick to one repetitive process. To me, painting is a dialogue between control and letting go and abstraction is of particular interest because it allows us to to express things that would otherwise escape our senses. It’s still a large field, even though everything is supposed to have already been made.
