Weekly Watercolor: Behind city walls

As the coronavirus pandemic continues to build in so many countries, city streets are becoming increasingly deserted. What I like about this painting by my dad, which is a look down a Roman street, is the contrast between the bright colors of the buildings with the lone figures on the street. Let’s say they are self-isolating and are out for their one spot of exercise that day. What lies behind all those colorful buildings? What stories could be told?

What stories are you hearing from behind closed doors? How can I pray for you at this time of fear and anxiety? May you know the peace that passes beyond any city walls; may the peace of Christ be yours this day.
