Bless You

Day 16

of the 30 Paintings in 30 Days challenge, thought up and hosted by artist Leslie Saeta.

I always wondered why people would bless a big sneeze!

However, in this country, Bless you seems to be the thing to say when someone is suddenly having a very loud and scary outburst, shaking up the surroundings, and spreading tons of germs on top of that.

Well, if a big sneeze deserves a lovely blessing, then quite a few of the disturbing things that are happening here make much more sense to me. Anyways, Gesundheit!
