The day after attending the St. Paul Almanac’s<\/em> release party (see the post immediately preceding this one), Isla and I participated in another noteworthy event. This time, we logged in to a virtual painting class. The class, which lasted about two hours, was held by the school I am currently attending, Southern New Hampshire University<\/a>. I am currently working on my Master’s degree there and hope to graduate before I die.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, this special activity was part of homecoming week, and since the theme was farming, we were instructed in how to paint a cow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s how it went (thanks to Brycie for taking the photos!):<\/p>\n\n\n

Here we are, early in the class. So far, we have only painted the background.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

This is a little further in our progress. You can see the basic shape of the cow. Isla is busily painting tufts of fur on the cow’s head. I am busily…cracking my knuckles, I guess…?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

Ta da! As you can see, Isla’s cow looks healthy and has a lustrous coat of fur. Mine appears emaciated and a little discombobulated.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
