Yesterday morning, I wrote along the shore of Lake Michigan.  I’ve been there in fog and storm, blue sky and gray.  The water at times is blue, others dark green, and all shades of gray under gray clouds.  Its constant presence, yet changing moods, reminded me of my family–fortunately present but ever-changing in emotion.

I invite you to try to describe a scene that you see or a mood that you feel–or both–using color.  I used Sherwin Williams’ paint names as inspiration, then invented my own: https://www.sherwin–williams.com/homeowners/color/find-and-explore-colors/paint-colors-by-family#   Here are the first two lines of my draft.

Sherwin Williams Sky

The horizon is crisp this morning,

painters’ contrast between

Moonmist and Denim.

Some dawns it’s all Aviary to the west,

fog drifting over our breakfast cereal.
