Stormy Lake

Right now as I lay down the foundation for a small painting of a local lake I can’t help but reflect on what is going on at Fort Mcmurray- A fire so large and powerful it’s swallowing up a whole city.

Thousands of people have lost their homes, pets, their livelihoods. There are horrible images of people stuck on a burning highway trying to escape the fire.

A fire so powerful it’s been described as having a mind of it’s own, so powerful that it creates a fire storm, with it’s own high winds and lighting.

So this is my prayer to all of them, may the fires cool down, may the water rain down, may the pain and sorrow slow down so these folks can be safe.
