Lake Blessings

I've been thinking about this for awhile & with my work at the college on hold, I have some extra time. I live about 2 miles from the west coast of Lake Michigan.

Every day, the lake is a different color. It can be anything from blue to green, brown, and I've even seen patches of purple and yellow, depending on the weather and the sunlight.

So I am going down to the lake to quickly paint the colors, just a little 10 minute simple few swipes of the brush.

And given my mindset these days, distracted and worried about the corona virus, and staying in my house or studio as much as possible, I decided to add a blessing or benediction with each painting. 

Here is the first little painting, in a little 3" x 4" watercolor sketch book.

God be with us all.
