Trees

This one is probably unfinished; I found it in a separate word doc with so many typos that it was very difficult to clean up.

One take-home final in the Art Department of the college where I taught

Was to give students 100 color cards and ask them to reproduce the colors, using only the primary colors.

That seemed difficult enough, but when I meditate by the shore of the Susquehanna, I discover that God has created even greater art than was covered in any Art appreciation course.

The trees there are clothed in a myriad of colors, which is not covered by one, two, or even three labels.

There are the dark green, the lime green, the light green, the green that almost shades off into blue, Kelley green, and more.

Each has its own permutations. There are many shades of green that we would designate with the paltry adjective “lime green” and there are spruces whose green shades off into gray, not to mention the green that has almost a blue tinge.

And as if this were not enough, the bark of the trees of so enormously variegated.
