One advantage to going to school online is that I can paint while I listen to a lecture. That’s what I did this morning. I had started this yesterday, and then had to put it aside. So as I listened to a lesson on IV therapy, I dabbed more color into the image. Some of the dots of color turned into fish. At the end of the lecture, this is what I was looking at.

Near my grandparents’ house in Rhode Island, there was a little creek that ran under the road, on a hill that we would coast down on our bikes. Peering into the water as a little kid, I saw a fish peeking out from under a rock. My cousin said it was a pickerel. But it was tiny. Not like the giant Northern Pike and Muskellunge that live in the lakes up here.
