Yay! (Again)
I'm happy. I have art class today. It's not in school, it's right afterward. Rachel, Raleigh and I all take it at Raleigh's neighbor's house. It's forty bucks a month, which my mom likes, because most of the other art classes I've ever taken have been really expensive.
The lady who teaches it, Sandi, is super nice. She puts up with Raleigh and Ray and I all of our "girl talk." Of course, it's more Ray and Raleigh who do that. They end up gossiping about someone who is in all of their classes, and I just stay quiet. I'm a grade ahead of them, you see, so I get to put up with it. But I don't mind.
I love to paint. We mostly work with oils, but every now and then we do some sketching, just to practice. Right now I'm working on a picture of a little boat that's sitting in the ocean off the coast of Aruba, so it's really tropical looking, with lots of bright colors. It's hard though. I'm not the best painter, because I'm such a perfectionist, so I've been taking a long time because the boat has a lot of shadowing on it. I'm hoping to finish it up today or next week.
