Art Class

Josie’s latest piece is from a photo that she took while we were in Florida. I look at this beautiful painting sitting on the table in our basement where we literally spent hours studying art and learning some of the techniques that she is still using today, and I also remember how often my art classes ended with her in tears because she couldn’t just pick up a brush and be Rembrandt on day one. Her frustration then was painful to watch then, but in retrospect, it’s the same struggle we all go through when we are trying to learn something new. Back then, though, I would have bet money that she wouldn’t pursue art in any serious way. I guess I would have lost that bet.
