As of 19 January 2021 (UTC) · History of cases · History of deaths
^ Location: Countries, territories, and international conveyances where cases were diagnosed. The nationality of the infected and the origin of infection may vary. For some countries, cases are split into respective territories and noted accordingly.
^ Cases: This number shows the cumulative number of confirmed human cases reported to date. The actual number of infections and cases is likely to be higher than reported.[9] Reporting criteria and testing capacity vary between locations.
^ Deaths: Reporting criteria vary between locations.
^ Recoveries: May not correspond to actual current figures and not all recoveries may be reported. Reporting criteria vary between locations and some countries do not report recoveries.
^ The worldwide totals for cases, deaths and recoveries are taken from the Johns Hopkins University Coronavirus Resource Center. They are not sums of the figures for the listed countries and territories.
^ United States
Figures include cases identified on the Grand Princess.
Figures do not include the unincorporated territories of Puerto Rico, Guam, Northern Marian Islands, and U.S Virgin Islands, all of which are listed separately.
Not all states or overseas territories report recovery data.
Cases include clinically diagnosed cases as per CDC guidelines.[10]
Recoveries and deaths include probable deaths and people released from quarantine as per CDC guidelines.[11][12][13]
Figures from the United States Department of Defense are only released on a branch-by branch basis since April 2020, without distinction between domestic and foreign deployment, and cases may be reported to local health authorities.[14]
Cases for the USS Theodore Roosevelt, currently docked at Guam, are reported separate from national figures but included in the Navy's totals.
There is also one case reported from Guantanamo Bay Naval Base not included in any other nation or territory's counts.[15] Since April 2020, the United States Department of Defense has directed all bases, including Guantanamo Bay, to not publish case statistics.[14]
^ Russia
Including cases from the disputed Crimea and Sevastopol.
Excluding cases from the Diamond Princess cruise ship, which are classified as "on an international conveyance".
^ United Kingdom
Excluding all British Overseas Territories and Crown dependencies.
As of 23 March 2020, the UK government does not publish the number of recoveries. The last update on 22 March reported 135 recovered patients.[21]
^ France
Including overseas regions of French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Mayotte and Réunion, and collectivities of Saint Barthélemy and Saint Martin.
Excluding collectivities of New Caledonia, French Polynesia, Saint Pierre and Miquelon and Wallis and Futuna.
Recoveries only include hospitalized cases.[23]
Figures for total confirmed cases and total deaths include data from both hospital and nursing home (ESMS: établissements sociaux et médico-sociaux).[23]
^ Turkey
From 29 July to 24 November 2020, the Ministry of Health did not publish the total number of positive cases. Instead, symptomatic coronavirus cases were shown as "patients".[26][27] The ministry began to report the daily numbers of previously unreported cases on 25 November, announced the total number of cases in the country on 10 December and started to include asymptomatic and mildly symptomatic cases (who are usually considered recovered after 10 days of isolation[28]) in the number of recoveries on 12 December.
^ Spain
The figure for cases excludes serology–confirmed cases.
As of 19 May 2020, the Spanish government does not publish the number of recoveries. The last update on 18 May reported 150,376 recovered patients.
^ Germany
Not all state authorities count recoveries.[31]
Recoveries include estimations by the Robert Koch Institute.[31][32]
^ Argentina
Excluding confirmed cases on the claimed territory of the Falkland Islands. Since 11 April, the Argentine Ministry of Health includes them in their official reports.[34]
^ Ukraine
Excluding cases from the disputed Crimea and Sevastopol. Cases in these territories are included in the Russian total.
Excluding cases from the unrecognized Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics.
^ Netherlands
The Kingdom of the Netherlands consists of a) the Netherlands* [the country as opposed to the kingdom; listed here], which in turn includes the Caribbean Netherlands, that are made up of the special municipalities Bonaire*, Saba* and Sint Eustatius*; b) Aruba*; c) Cura?ao*; and d) Sint Maarten*. All regions marked with an asterisk are listed separately.
The Dutch Government agency RIVM, responsible for the constituent country the Netherlands, does not count its number of recoveries.[46]
^ Canada
On 17 July 2020, Quebec, Canada, revised its criteria on recoveries. The Institut national de santé publique claims that "the previous method resulted in 'significant underestimations' of recovered cases."[50] This change resulted in a drop of active cases nationwide, from a total of 27,603 on 16 July to 4,058 on 17 July.[51]
^ Belgium
The number of deaths also includes untested cases and cases in retirement homes that presumably died because of COVID-19, whilst most countries only include deaths of tested cases in hospitals.[55]
^ Chile
Including the special territory of Easter Island and cases reported in the Chilean Antarctic Territory.
The Chilean Ministry of Health considered all cases as "recovered" after 14 days since the initial symptoms of the virus, regardless of the health situation of the infected or if succeeding tests indicate the continuing presence of the virus. The only exceptions are casualties, which are not included as recovered.[58]
Deaths include only cases with positive PCR tests and catalogued as a "COVID-19 related death" by the Civil Registry and Identification Service. This number is indicated in the daily reports of the Ministry of Health. A report with the total number of deaths, including suspected cases without PCR test, is released weekly since 20 June 2020.[59] In the latest report (8 January 2021), the total number of deaths is 22,754.[60]
^ Israel
Including cases from the disputed Golan Heights.
Excluding cases from the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
^ Switzerland
Recoveries are estimates by the Tribune de Genève.
^ Morocco
Including cases in the disputed Western Sahara territory controlled by Morocco.
Excluding the de facto state of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic.
^ Serbia
Excluding cases from the disputed territory of Kosovo.
^ a b Diamond Princess and Japan
The British cruise ship Diamond Princess was in Japanese waters, and the Japanese administration was asked to manage its quarantine, with the passengers having not entered Japan. Therefore, this case is included in neither the Japanese nor British official counts. The World Health Organization classifies the cases as being located "on an international conveyance".
^ Georgia
Excluding the de facto states of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
^ Azerbaijan
Excluding the self-declared state of Artsakh.
^ Denmark
The autonomous territories of the Faroe Islands and Greenland are listed separately.
^ Egypt
Includes cases identified on the MS River Anuket.

Excluding Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong and Macau.
Does not include Taiwan.
^ Norway
Estimation of the number of infected:
As of 23 March 2020, according to figures from just over 40 per cent of all GPs in Norway, 20,200 patients have been registered with the "corona code" R991. The figure includes both cases where the patient has been diagnosed with coronavirus infection through testing, and where the GP has used the "corona code" after assessing the patient's symptoms against the criteria by the Norwegian Institute of Public Health.[142]
As of 24 March 2020, the Norwegian Institute of Public Health estimates that between 7,120 and 23,140 Norwegians are infected with the coronavirus.[143]
^ Finland
Including the autonomous region of the ?land Islands.
The number of recoveries is an estimate based on reported cases which were reported at least two weeks ago and there is no other monitoring data on the course of the disease.[155] The exact number of recoveries is not known, as only a small proportion of patients have been hospitalised.[156]
^ a b Greg Mortimer and Uruguay
Although currently anchored off the coast of Uruguay, cases for the Greg Mortimer are currently reported separately. Six have been transferred inland for hospitalization.
^ Cyprus
Including the British Overseas Territory of Akrotiri and Dhekelia.
Excluding de facto state of Northern Cyprus.
^ Australia
Excluding the cases from Diamond Princess cruise ship which are classified as "on an international conveyance". Ten cases, including one fatality recorded by the Australian government.
^ DR Congo
The Democratic Republic of the Congo.
^ Cuba
Includes cases on the MS Braemar.
Excluding cases from Guantanamo Bay, which is governed by the United States.
^ a b Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republic
Note that these territories are distinct from the Ukraine-administered regions of the Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts.
^ Botswana
1,640 people who tested positive have been voluntarily repatriated to their respective countries and are not part of the confirmed case count as a result the Government of Botswana does not include the transferred-out cases.[189]
^ Syria
Excluding cases from the disputed Golan Heights.
^ Abkhazia
Cases from this de facto state are not counted by Georgia.
^ Bahamas
Some of these deaths may still be under investigation as stated in the Ministry's press release.
^ Congo
Also known as the Republic of the Congo and not to be confused with the DR Congo.
^ a b Guam and USS Theodore Roosevelt
Cases for the USS Theodore Roosevelt, currently docked at Guam, are reported separately.
^ Somalia
Excluding the de facto state of Somaliland.
^ South Ossetia
^ Artsakh
Cases from this de facto state are not counted by Azerbaijan.
^ Northern Cyprus
Cases from this de facto state are not counted by Cyprus.
^ Somaliland
Cases from this de facto state are not counted by Somalia.
^ Charles de Gaulle
Including cases on the escort frigate Chevalier Paul.
Florence Parly, Minister of the Armed Forces, reported to the National Assembly's National Defense and Armed Forces Committee [fr] that 2010 sailors of the carrier battle group led by Charles de Gaulle had been tested, with 1081 tests returning positive so far.[275] Many of these cases were aboard Charles de Gaulle, some of the cases were reportedly aboard French frigate Chevalier Paul, and it is unclear if any other ships in the battle group had cases on board.[276][277][278]
^ Taiwan
1. Including cases from the ROCS Pan Shi.[279]
2. Does not include mainland China.
^ Isle of Man
Recoveries are presumed. Defined as "An individual testing positive for coronavirus who completes the 14 day self-isolation period from the onset of symptoms who is at home on day 15, or an individual who is discharged from hospital following more severe symptoms."[297]
^ Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic
Cases from this de facto state are not counted by Morocco.
^ MS Zaandam
Including cases from MS Rotterdam.
The MS Rotterdam rendezvoused with the Zaandam on 26 March off the coast of Panama City to provide support and evacuate healthy passengers. Both have since docked in Florida.[336][337]
MS Zaandam and Rotterdam's numbers are currently not counted in any national figures.
^ Coral Princess
The cruise ship Coral Princess has tested positive cases since early April 2020 and has since docked in Miami.[340]
Coral Princess's numbers are currently not counted in any national figures.
^ SeaDream I
SeaDream I's numbers are currently not counted in any national figures.
^ HNLMS Dolfijn
All 8 cases currently associated with Dolfijn were reported while the submarine was at sea in the waters between Scotland and the Netherlands.[344]
It is unclear whether the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) is including these cases in their total count, but neither their daily update details nor their daily epidemiological situation reports appear to have mentioned the ship, with a breakdown of cases listing the twelve provinces of the country of the Netherlands (as opposed to the kingdom) accounting for all the cases in the total count.[345][346]
^ Tanzania
Figures for Tanzania are "No data" as the country stopped publishing figures on coronavirus cases on 29 April.[357] Figures as of that date were 509 cases, 21 deaths, and 183 recoveries.[358][359]
Cases by country as of 1 January 2021, plotted on a logarithmic scale[360]

Further information: National responses to the COVID-19 pandemic
As a result of COVID-19 many regions have imposed lockdowns, curfews and quarantines alongside new legislation and evacuations, or other restrictions for citizens of or recent travelers to the most affected areas.[365] Other regions have imposed global restrictions that apply to all foreign countries and territories, or prevent their own citizens from travelling overseas.[366]

The pandemic was confirmed to have spread to Africa on 14 February 2020, with the first confirmed case announced in Egypt.[367][368] The first confirmed case in sub-Saharan Africa was announced in Nigeria at the end of February.[369] Within three months, the virus had spread throughout the continent, as Lesotho, the last African sovereign state to have remained free of the virus, reported a case on 13 May.[370][371] By 26 May, it appeared that most African countries were experiencing community transmission, although testing capacity was limited.[372] Most of the identified imported cases arrived from Europe and the United States rather than from China where the virus originated.[373] It is believed that there is widespread under-reporting in many African countries with less developed healthcare systems.[374]
Experts have worried about COVID-19 spreading to Africa, because many of the healthcare systems on the continent are inadequate, having problems such as lack of equipment, lack of funding, insufficient training of healthcare workers, and inefficient data transmission. It was feared that the pandemic could be difficult to keep under control in Africa, and could cause huge economic problems if it spread widely.[375][373] As of 18 April 2020, the supply of ventilators was low in much of Africa: 41 countries had only 2,000 ventilators between them, and ten countries had no ventilators at all. Even basic supplies like soap and water are subject to shortages in parts of the continent.[376]
The government of Egypt denied January 2021 allegations that the shortage of oxygen had killed several Covid-19 patients at one of its hospitals. However, an investigation led by the New York Times confirmed that the authorities had lied. The video of one of Egypt's hospitals treating critical patients using manual ventilation methods went viral on Facebook. The video was posted by Ahmed Nafei, the nephew of a 62-year-old woman who died. In addition, the relatives of the dead patients and the El Husseineya Central Hospital's medical staff also confirmed in an interview given to the New York Times that the cause of death had been the shortage of oxygen.[377]

COVID-19 deaths per million residents as of 10 December 2020
The COVID-19 pandemic began in Asia in Wuhan, Hubei, China, and has spread widely through the continent. As of 30 April 2020[update],[378] at least one case of COVID-19 had been reported in every country in Asia except North Korea and Turkmenistan.
Asian countries with the highest numbers of confirmed coronavirus cases are India, Russia (a transcontinental country), Turkey, Iran, and Indonesia.[379] Among the earliest countries to report COVID-19 cases after the outbreak in China were Thailand, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Vietnam, but these countries had successfully controlled the pandemic. The highest numbers of deaths are recorded in India, Iran, Indonesia, Turkey and Iraq with more than 240,000 deaths combined. The death tolls in a number of countries, however, are claimed to be significantly higher than those given in official figures.[380][381]

Deaths by COVID-19 per million residents as of 12 December 2020
As of 13 March 2020,[update] when the number of new cases became greater than those in China, the World Health Organization (WHO) began to consider Europe the active centre of the pandemic.[382][383] Cases by country across Europe had doubled over periods of typically 3 to 4 days, with some countries (mostly those at earlier stages of detection) showing doubling every 2 days.[384]
As of 17 March,[update] all countries within Europe had a confirmed case of COVID-19, with Montenegro being the last European country to report at least one case.[385] At least one death has been reported in all European countries, apart from the Vatican City.
Main article: COVID-19 pandemic in North America
1–499 confirmed cases
The first cases in North America were reported in the United States in January 2020. Cases were reported in all North American countries after Saint Kitts and Nevis confirmed a case on 25 March, and in all North American territories after Bonaire confirmed a case on 16 April.[386]
On 26 March 2020, the U.S. became the country with the highest number of confirmed COVID-19 infections, with over 82,000 cases.[387] On 11 April 2020, the U.S. became the country with the highest official death toll for COVID-19, with over 20,000 deaths.[388] As of 21 November 2020 the total cases of COVID-19 are over 13,942,964 with over 383,084 total deaths.[389]
Canada reported 665,496 cases and 17,030 deaths on 11 January 2021,[390] while Mexico reported 1,534,039 cases and 133,706 deaths.[391] The most cases by state is California with 2,621,277 confirmed cases and 29,233 deaths as of the 11th January 2021.[392]
Main article: COVID-19 pandemic in Oceania
1–9 confirmed cases
1000–9999 confirmed cases
10,000+ confirmed cases
The pandemic was confirmed to have reached Oceania on 25 January 2020 with the first confirmed case reported in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.[393] It has since spread elsewhere in the region,[394] although many small Pacific island nations have thus far avoided the outbreak by closing their international borders. Five Oceania sovereign states have yet to report a case: Kiribati, Nauru, Palau, Tonga, and Tuvalu. Australia and New Zealand have been praised for their handling of the pandemic compared to other western nations, with the latter wiping out all community transmission of the virus. The most recent country or territory to report its first confirmed case was the Federated States of Micronesia, on 8 January 2021.
Main article: COVID-19 pandemic in South America
no confirmed cases
1000+ confirmed cases
The pandemic was confirmed to have reached South America on 26 February 2020 when Brazil confirmed a case in S?o Paulo.[395] By 3 April, all countries and territories in South America had recorded at least one case.[396]
On 13 May, it was reported that Latin America and the Caribbean had reported over 400,000 cases of infection with 23,091 deaths. On 22 May, citing especially the rapid increase of infections in Brazil, the WHO declared South America the epicentre of the pandemic.[397][398]
As of 20 September,[needs update] South America has about 7.5 million confirmed cases and 238,000 deaths. Due to a dearth of testing and medical facilities, it is believed that the outbreak is far larger than the official numbers show.[399]
Main article: COVID-19 pandemic in Antarctica
COVID-19 pandemic in Antarctica
Due to its remoteness and sparse population, Antarctica was the last continent to have confirmed cases of COVID-19 and was one of the last regions of the world affected directly by the pandemic.[400][401][402] The first cases were reported in December 2020, almost a year after the first cases of COVID-19 were detected in China. At least 36 people are confirmed to have been infected.[403] Even before the first cases on the continent were reported, human activity in Antarctica was indirectly impacted.
Main articles: COVID-19 pandemic on cruise ships and COVID-19 pandemic on naval ships

The COVID-19 pandemic spread to a number of cruise ships, with the nature of such ships—including crowded semi-enclosed areas, increased exposure to new environments, and limited medical resources—contributing to the heightened risk and rapid spread of the disease.[404]
The British-registered Diamond Princess was the first cruise ship to have a major outbreak on board, with the ship quarantined at Yokohama from 4 February 2020 for approximately one month. Over 700 people became infected, and 14 people died. At the time, the ship accounted for over half the reported cases of SARS-CoV-2 outside of mainland China.[405]
The COVID-19 pandemic spread to many military ships. The nature of these ships, which includes working with others in small enclosed areas and a lack of private quarters for the vast majority of crew, contributed to the rapid spread of the disease, even more so than on cruise ships.[406][407]
Due to the nature of operations security, national militaries may have policies in place that prevent or restrict reporting of SARS-CoV-2 infections and COVID-19 deaths, so although the cases listed below may have been widely reported in reliable sources, confirmation by official spokespeople of the respective militaries is not systematic.[408]

Portrait of the artist: Sonoma painter Keith Wicks.
Year of Living Artfully
One Year, One Show treats one painter as one (hell of an) investment
By Jordan E. Rosenfeld
When did the act of patronage, in which an artist is commissioned to do good work for good wages, stop being commonplace? Possibly right after Michelangelo finished the Sistine Chapel. North Bay artists might want to take note: A new concept in patronage, created by a Bay Area business investor to support one artist for one year, could inspire a renaissance of its very own.
Darius Anderson, founder and partner of Kenwood Investments, has an art collector's eye and the courage of a venture capitalist. Anderson is known for an eclectic range of investment projects; he has dabbled in projects ranging from the redevelopment of Treasure Island to the purchase of the Aquarium of the Bay in San Francisco. In 2004, when Anderson, a Sonoman, was introduced to the work of painter Keith Wicks, founder of the Sonoma Plein Air Foundation, another unusual investment idea took shape in his mind.
"Keith told me about a problem he was having with several of his galleries, and how they had not paid him in a timely manner," Anderson says by phone from his San Francisco office. "In one situation, he had to fly to Chicago to demand a check, and even then they paid him in installments. I thought that was awful, and I said, 'Why don't we think about putting together a little investment group to support you?'"
The result is One Year, One Show, an unusual patronage program devised by Anderson and supported by an eclectic cluster of seven colleagues, people he calls "luminaries and bigwigs." They include Mark Emmerson, the CEO of Sierra Pacific Lumber; Linda Reiff, executive director of the Napa Valley Vintners Association; a New York-based Wall Street trader; and four others. (Anderson is quick to point out that the investors put up personal funds that were not connected to or sponsored by their place of employment.)
Lifestyle Investment
Most savvy investors have a common approach: they are loath to part with their cash until they're reassured that their investment has the power to deliver. Anderson's plan was to raise $200,000. This sum would support Wicks for a year, allow him to buy supplies and provide for international travel so that he would have many new sights and experiences to inspire him. In return, Wicks had to agree to forgo any standing gallery arrangements while creating 100 saleable works of art.
While Anderson had faith in Wicks' work, he and his wife Sarah couldn't foot the bill alone; he needed seven people to each invest $25,000 for a total of $200,000. They had to be willing to trust that Wicks could create 100 pieces in just 12 months time and they had to be willing to trust that all 100 of those pieces were "saleable," a laughably slippery concept in the art world.
In addition to supporting Wicks, some of the $200,000 would go to arranging social gatherings among the investors. This last is perhaps the most daring of the plan's many components. Anderson, a professional risk-taker, banked on what he calls a "lifestyle investment." His concept, developed after many conversations with Wicks, was not just to support the artist, but to allow the investors to participate in Wicks' artistic process by joining him on trips to Mexico, Paris, New Orleans and New York.
If Anderson was worried about attracting enough investors, his fears were quickly allayed. "We sent out 15 e-mails to people we knew, and got so many immediate responses that we had to turn people away," he chuckles.
There is a waiting list of interested investors for the next round.
Ten-Grand Man
The year went exactly as Anderson planned. With the freedom to work and not worry about sales or business, Wicks was able to produce more than 100 paintings, effectively creating a yearlong biography of his artistic process. The result will be shown in a two-day exhibit Sept. 16-17 at Building One on Treasure Island. Anderson anticipates that sales will be healthy.
"The first $200,000 will go to pay back the investors," he explains, already divvying up Wicks' worth. "After that, all revenue from the works in this show will be split 50-50 between Keith and the investors."
"I wanted to prove that this could work," he continues. "I knew that in terms of a lifestyle experience it would be successful; many investors have never had this level of access to an artist. It's been fun for them because they now understand the process of what an artist goes through in the creation of an actual piece of art. And on the level of financial return, I'm confident that it will pay off. If we can return just $10,000 to each person in addition to their initial investment, that would be a huge return compared to the stock market or other kinds of investment. I have great confidence in the quality of Keith's work that this will happen."
Whitney Black is special projects manager for Kenwood Investments and has been an integral part of the administrative side of the project.
"For me, being a part of this has felt like a Renaissance revival, like when the Medici family invested in artists," she says by phone from her San Francisco office. "To have an experiential component to an investment is great; there is no price that can be set on that piece of it. Plus, the investors were excited to get a first look at Wicks' collection and to see the results of the couple of trips they personally took with him."
Anderson adds with a chuckle, "The whole concept of breaking down the traditional gallery structure was very satisfying to me. Galleries don't pay up front; an artist creates a body of work, brings it in and then, after they sell, he gets maybe 40 percent--that is, when they get around to paying him."
Free fall: During the year of his patronage, Wicks experimented with larger canvases and changing themes.
Not-So-Starving Artist
Keith Wicks is by no means a starving artist. He has enjoyed national TV and magazine coverage of his work, and was instrumental in creating the nonprofit Sonoma Plein Air Foundation in 2002. Wicks has been painting most of his life, though his art degree is in illustration. He supported himself and family for many years by making storyboards for media, even doing a stint at Industrial Light & Magic, and as a freelance artist, he says, for "every big ad agency in San Francisco."
"It's only the last 10 years that I have been making a living [as a painter]," Wicks says. "I worked in the multimedia industry and I taught at the Academy of Art in San Francisco, but eventually I knew I wanted to get away from it all and just paint. I got out of that business entirely and moved to Sonoma, where I set up a studio."
The Foundation sponsors an event each year in which artists from all over the country come to paint in Sonoma for a week. (This year's event is slated for Sept. 4-10.) Of the nearly 500 applications received each year, only 40 are invited to participate. Each artist creates 10 to 15 paintings in the week's time and submits his or her best piece to a "best in show" juried event, culminating in a gala event on the Friday at the end of the week. The artwork is then auctioned off.
"Sixty percent goes back to the artists, and 40 percent is distributed to the elementary schools, the community center and the Sonoma Valley Museum's Art Rewards for Students program," Wicks says with obvious pride. "Last year, we put $120,000 back into the arts in Sonoma.
"It took a couple years for it to get off the ground, but now it's really successful," he continues. "Then I was approached to start a similar one in Telluride, Colorado, which I did."
Art Biz
Wicks' business-minded approach as much as his painting style is what sold Darius Anderson on creating the investment concept on his behalf. And Wicks himself is satisfied with the result.
"I think that is an unusual opportunity for art collectors to see [a full year's work]," Wicks says. "I've grown tremendously in this year, because painting takes on a kind of momentum when you can do it uninterrupted. The more you paint, the better you get. The amount of concentration I was able to give to my painting really changed my work, and I think that this will be visible in the show when you look at the early paintings versus the ones done later in the year."
Wicks' painting style has been favorably compared to Edward Hopper, though his canvases evoke more obvious emotion than Hopper's austere settings and simple colors.
"It's an honor to be compared to Hopper," he says, "but I think if you look at my work you can also see the influences of painters like Sargent, Saroyan and other traditional painters who had a little bravado to their style and paint reality in an impressionistic way.
"There's a certain twilight that I like and am often looking for," he says. "I like to paint moods. I lean toward realistic scenes, but I skew everything to a more romantic feeling through light. I paint with a transparent oil that has a lot of varnish in it. This lets the light pass through the oil and gives it a kind of luminosity. When it's lit up, many of my paintings really do glow."
Wicks admits that he had to have a certain stamina and disposition to be able to do the sheer amount of work that the year required of him. "I spoke to some of my other artist friends who are in my same league and a lot of them said, 'I don't know if I could pull that off. What about the pressure? What if you fail?'"
Wicks chose not to dwell on failure, but rather to glory in the fullness of experience that the year gave him.
"I had the freedom to paint and create anything I wanted," he exults. "Under normal circumstances, I am under financial pressure each month to supply galleries with what they're asking for and to attend to the business end of things, which takes up most of my time."
With the investors' financial support, Wicks was able to paint much larger canvases than he would normally opt for, producing a number of 6-foot-by-8-foot paintings. He also did far more in-studio painting, instead of the swifter plein air style, which is done in the open air of a natural setting and in a short period of time to capture a specific time of day or mood.
Wick says that the best part is that he now feels he has leverage to begin setting higher prices and getting his work into higher-end galleries.
"This experience was like a catapult. I wanted to raise the level and value of my work, and I feel that I've been able to do that."
Cottage industry: Trained as an illustrator, Wicks cofounded the Sonoma Plein Air Foundation in 2002.
Love and Money
While the investors interviewed agreed that they are not art collectors in any serious way, they got involved because they were sold on the energy of Anderson's enthusiasm and Wicks' past work.
Linda Reiff says that she and her husband, Richard Ward, "fell in love" with Wicks' work when they saw a show of his in San Francisco. When Anderson asked them if they were interested in supporting the concept, she says they jumped at the chance.
"We definitely have an interest and appreciation for the arts, and have made a few minor purchases. My husband was very active and an initial contributor to the di Rosa Preserve and is on their board," Reiff says from her Napa office. "What really drew us to Keith's work is that his paintings are very much of place; they're so vivid and real. My husband and I are both in the wine business, which is also a business of place. The first exhibit we went to was his work of Cuba, which is where my husband and I were married, so we had an immediate connection."
Mark Emmerson of Redding found a different allure. "What attracted me to the project was the people. I'm not sure investing is the right term," he says. "I mean, we invested in the arts and in the artist, but most of us liked the other investors Darius brought together, and Keith's artwork was fantastic. My wife and my tastes are simple, and as I'm getting older, I'm coming to appreciate art more."
Emmerson and his wife Marisa were drawn to Wicks' work because it is "warm, has energy and is positive," he says. "Keith paints places I would like to go to. And he makes a scene look a certain way with light that is inviting and makes you feel good."
Emmerson says that he was surprised by what developed among the group of investors. "The most enjoyable thing was the memories we have of the folks we participated with, who are a wonderfully warm group of people. We had some great dinners where we'd argue and carouse and have a great time. It's a passionate group."
Like Emmerson, Reiff and her husband enjoyed the social aspect of the business relationship. "Not many of us knew each other in advance of the project," she says, "but the relationships we built will definitely continue. We had a great camaraderie, and the time we've been able to spend getting to know Keith and his insights and views and artwork has been extremely rewarding."
Color Me Green
Even though the financial return on the investment is still in question until the Treasure Island show in September, Anderson considers the concept a success already. Ideally, he hopes they will make close to $500,000 when the show is done, pay back everyone's investment and give Wicks a return on his year of hard work. Anderson is also gearing up for a second round. This time, Wicks will be one of the investors and will head up the selection process to choose the next artist.
"I'm on the board of directors for the California Artists Club, and I know hundreds of artists," Wicks says. "We'll hand-pick one based on the work, their professionalism and [their feasibility] from an investment standpoint. It comes down to the quality of work and its potential for longevity. We have to be pretty selective."
In the end, Wicks is glad he had those early conversations with Anderson.
"I feel very fortunate," he grins. "It's been a fantastic year."
'One Year, One Show: A Keith Wicks' Collection' exhibits Saturday-Sunday, Sept. 16-17, at Building One on Treasure Island. Exhibit open to the public, 10am-5pm; opening reception, Sept. 16, 6-8pm. RSVP necessary for reception. 415.955.1100, ext. 105.

Students had an incredible time experiencing the top sights in New York, as well as seeing Broadway shows, not forgetting free time to hit Macy's and Bloomindales. The students were lucky enough to have workshops from Broadway casting directors and the performers of the shows, such as the original 'Dynamite' from Hairspray, Dance Captain from 'Wicked' and Performers from 'Moving Out'. This tour is one of a kind with not only having an exciting itinerary to sight see, but the experience and the contacts that can be made creating a truly unforgettable trip!
Outstanding Workshops in the centre of Lake Garda, incorporating a variety of dance styles. The students had a fantastic time visiting the wonders of Italy, including Lake Garda it self, Venice and its beautiful hand crafted stalls, Juliet's Balcony, and the historical 'Amphi Theatre'.
Branson isn't a well known destination but little do people know that it is one of the leading places for the 'arts', alongside Westend and Broadway. The students not only had the opportunity to meet professionals and get handy tips from Performers in Branson such as, a Dancer from 'Spirit Productions', a talented group of a sister and her brothers known as the 'Haygoods', but actually Perform in several theatres also! Our students had the opportunity to perform a 20 minute set prior to a phenomenal show e.g. on The Branson Showboat, at The Haygoods, Six, Dixie Stampede and Legends in Concert. Branson is set in the heart of Missouri and is breathtaking in many ways, from the food, the culture and history of the area, the intriguing attractions and most of all the sheer variety of entertainment which is by far outstanding. To perform in these reputable theatres in front of a full audience was a once in a lifetime opportunity!
Hollywood has been our most recent tour and one of the most unforgettable, with its diversity and glamour our students were in their zone of stardom. The students were able to participate in workshops at the famous 'Stella Adler' Conservatoire, with renowned practitioners. Los Angeles gave the students the opportunity to discover new and old facts around theatre and film, exploring behind the scenes at Universal studios and Sony Pictures, film land marks, Hollywood boulevard, and much more.

The beautiful nature and traditional culture of Gudbrandsdalen have been a source of inspiration to several artists. The myths and stories holds everything from trolls to historical persons, like our local Per Gynt. The same caracter that inspired Henrik Ibsen when he wrote his world famous masterpiece, Peer Gynt. Welcome to the Peer Gynt Mountain Road. The road is 60 km long, passing through some of Norway's most beautiful mountains and is the main mountain road through the Gudbrandsdal valley, leading you straight into the realm of Peer Gynt.
Start at Lillehammer and drive 5km north of town on E-6. Turn then right to Skeikampen/Gausdal.
Skeikampen is situated at the southern end of the Peer Gynt Mountain Road and is a tourist town with lots to do and see, only half an hour's drive from Lillehammer. Skeikampen is prominent by the dominent Skeikampen mountain (1124 m.a.s.l).
We are now leaving Skeikampen, and travelling into the realm of Peer Gynt, passing Nisjuvatna, Dørdalen, Dørdalsknappen (1126 m.a.s.l) and are approaching Fagerhøi. A magnificant view of the Jotunheimen to the west and the Rondane mountains to the east. Straight ahead are the mountains of Ruten and Heidalsmuen. Af Fagerhøi there are numerous places to go fishing, hiking and biking. On the way to Gålå we pass the wievpoint of Listulhøgda (1053 m.a.s.l.) which is the highest point of the road.
There are many things to do and see in Gålå, for example the Solbrå Seter (alpine pasture farm) Museum where the famous Gudbrandsdal cheese was first made in 1863. At the beginning of August, a performance of Henrik Ibsen's "Peer Gynt" with music by Grieg is arranged at the outdoor arena by Gålåvatn lake. On the way to the Espedalen valley, we pass the Hattdal valley and the Rutenfjell mountains (1517 m.a.s.l.).
Espedalen - our friendly wilderness with uniques flora and an exciting cultural past with remains from mining operation started here in the 17th century. The works area with Espedalen mountain church. "Helvete" (Hell) the largest potholes in Northern Europe.
You can drive to Skåbu from Espedalen and carry on to the Jotunheimen road (toll road) to Bygdin. There is a tourist information office, crafts outlet and local history exhibition situated here. Skåbu church.

Hancock council sets hearing on development district

HANCOCK — On Wednesday evening, the Hancock City Council assembled to take care of several city business items.
City Manager Mary Babcock delivered the administrative report, informing the council that updates to the city's website are almost complete, and that the new website is expected to be published on or near Jan. 1.
Babcock also reported that the annual Christmas Walk, held last Friday in downtown Hancock, was a great success with attendance that exceeded expectations. Around 18 Hancock businesses participated in the Holiday Window Decorating Contest, and judges awarded first place to The Flower Shop, followed by K.C. Bonker's and Sew Cranky in second and third.
Lastly, Babcock said that the deadline to register for the upcoming Holiday Home Decorating Contest is Dec. 10.
The council then turned its attention to new business. Councilors unanimously approved the purchase of a 2013 Dodge Pickup truck from Northern Auto, to join the city's fleet.
The council also established its 2022 meeting schedule. After a brief debate, counselors decided to continue meeting twice per month, with meetings during the first and third weeks of each month.
They have the option of canceling one of the two meetings in the event that there is a lack of business to discuss. The first meeting in January was then canceled.
A decision that required lengthier debate, was whether to schedule a public hearing to consider the adoption of a resolution to establish an industrial development district.
Councilors asked a series of questions to determine what this resolution might entail, before eventually approving the scheduling of a public hearing by a vote of six to one. This hearing will take place on Dec. 15 during the regularly scheduled city council meeting.
Scheduling the hearing is the first step in a process that could result in the establishment of an industrial business and technology park on a 40-acre parcel of land located on Lake Annie Road.
At the upcoming public hearing, the council will consider whether to establish an industrial development district on the land. Doing so would allow the city to offer a tax abatement – a form of property tax incentive – to prospective developers.
Businesses interested in developing the parcel could then submit applications to the city. Counselors reasoned that the establishment of a new business could result in job creation, additional tax revenue for the city, and a large investment in the local economy.
However, the upcoming hearing is only the first step in the process, and will not necessarily result in the city offering a tax abatement to any developer.
As the meeting drew to a close, Councilor John Haeussler took the floor to share his thoughts on a few topics including HB 4722, a bill that was recently passed by the Michigan House of Representatives. If it becomes law, the bill will limit the authority of municipalities to regulate rental properties.
Haeussler reiterated that the bill impacts all rentals citywide, not just short-term rentals and rentals in residential zones.
He expressed concern that the bill could lead to excessive numbers of short-term rentals, given that it prevents local governments from limiting the number of short-term rentals to a quantity that is lower than 30% of dwellings within the municipality.
Finally, Haeussler reflected on the bill's classification of a short-term rental as a residential, rather than commercial use of property. He reported that recent Court of Appeals cases upheld by the Michigan Supreme Court had defined the term 'commercial use', by saying "commercial use of property is intended to generate a profit,"
"Well, if you're renting it, you're intending to generate a profit," said Haeussler. "So, our court system certainly says that rentals are commercial uses of property."
"But why the legislature is legislating that it is not, is that commercial use is barred by most covenants that are in the form of deed restrictions," he explained.
Many Michigan neighborhoods, including several located in Hancock, have deed restrictions that prevent commercial activity. But by classifying rentals as non-commercial, HB 4722 would allow rentals to circumvent this restriction.
"What House Bill 4722 does is it tells the local neighborhoods that the agreements you have don't count, it's going to trump that agreement," said Haeussler. "So, the next time we see Representative Markkanen and Senator McBroom, who's on record as being in favor of this bill, I want to ask why the wishes of residents don't matter? Why do residents have no voice in the character of their neighborhoods?"
The Hancock City Council will meet again on Dec. 15.


It has been horrible weather over the last few days, so it was nice to spend a bit of time in the greenhouse after work. Most things are fully into growth and starting to look good. My replacement aloe suprafoliata is now in full juvenile form.
It will stay in this form until it flowers for the first time at which point it will start to spiral and will end up looking like my original plant.
I'm still upset to have lost the original plant, it will be years before my current one gets anywhere near as nice. It seems to divide opinion: a lot of people prefer the juvenile form and are upset when it spirals, I much prefer the adult form.
The miniature aloes tend to go a little wild at this time of year. My clump of aloe viper is a decent size now. It's not the best for keeping its colour in the UK, probably needs stronger light.
I am undecided if I want to keep it as a single plant or clump, no doubt it will be a spur of the moment decision next time it gets repotted.
Last but by no means least is the largest pot of echeveria 'Compton Carousel'. Having got leggy last winter, it produced lots of pups on the stem and for once I was able to restrain from cutting them off. The plan is to find a nice pot and plant it in a mini landscape. I will probably cut the parent plant off at the same time, unless it would work grown up a rock.
Now we are a bit more settled in the house, I will hopefully be able to split my time between working on the garden and taking care of the plants in pots.
I like the Echeveria clump. I had a few Aloes flower over Winter [ please have a look on Succulent Sundae ] but I do not have space for many.
I have the same aloe problem especially this year where they flowered much earlier due to the early spring. I wish there were more that were hardy, I would love more planted out.
I see what you mean about the A. suprafoliata. You are right, it is even more beautiful spiraled.
Maybe it is that a lot of people haven't seen the adult form and if you didn't have the adult to compare it to the juvenile form is very pretty. Are they more common in the US? You very very rarely see them in the UK.


17 When this became known to the Jews and Greeks living in Ephesus, they were all seized with fear, and the name of the Lord Jesus was held in high honor. 18 Many of those who believed now came and openly confessed their evil deeds. 19 A number who had practiced sorcery brought their scrolls together and burned them publicly. When they calculated the value of the scrolls, the total came to fifty thousand drachmas.d 20 In this way the word of the Lord spread widely and grew in power.
28 When they heard this, they were furious and began shouting: "Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!" 29 Soon the whole city was in an uproar. The people seized Gaius and Aristarchus, Paul's traveling companions from Macedonia, and rushed as one man into the theater. 30 Paul wanted to appear before the crowd, but the disciples would not let him. 31 Even some of the officials of the province, friends of Paul, sent him a message begging him not to venture into the theater.
35 The city clerk quieted the crowd and said: "Men of Ephesus, doesn't all the world know that the city of Ephesus is the guardian of the temple of the great Artemis and of her image, which fell from heaven? 36 Therefore, since these facts are undeniable, you ought to be quiet and not do anything rash. 37 You have brought these men here, though they have neither robbed temples nor blasphemed our goddess. 38 If, then, Demetrius and his fellow craftsmen have a grievance against anybody, the courts are open and there are proconsuls. They can press charges. 39 If there is anything further you want to bring up, it must be settled in a legal assembly. 40 As it is, we are in danger of being charged with rioting because of today's events. In that case we would not be able to account for this commotion, since there is no reason for it." 41 After he had said this, he dismissed the assembly.
