We're sitting in class, but I'm getting a dirty look from Casey who is sitting next to me staring at my Mother's Day blog... I promised I was blogging last night.
My negligence is shameful... again.

I've waited long enough to blog that we are now approaching the end of our art May-mester in England. I don't guess I'm holding out too much. We paint and we take pictures. I've found my skills in watercolor are lacking.
We've been to London and Bath over the past few weeks in between days of frustrating paintings of foliage and gravestones. I don't do foliage. Painted a little bit on my own to try to boost my confidence. It helped a bit. I used some ink to help bring out the contrast and details that I fail to do in watercolor and they ended up looking slightly illustrated. oh well, it's better than big green blogs of semi-opaque water.


these are from our few days between semesters. I went with the Wiggins out to Blenheim palace before they left me. :(






Kennedy tell Lisa what is up.

We had a long weekend and it was wonderful. Casey and Eryn came back to Oxford from their travels to get their stuff and to see Oxford one last time. It was good to reunite with some peers from the Spring semester, we've missed all of them since they've been gone. Every now and again someone who stayed in Europe to travel for a while will pop back in to get their luggage and say goodbye. It's great to see them, but the goodbyes are drawn out and each time make it harder and harder to be left behind.
We spent some time at the Oxford 8's on Saturday. It's a the big Rowing competition between the Colleges. It was reminiscent of American sporting events, but it was no Football game.


Out to play with Casey Rogers, Casey Monsees, Sarah Boyd and Eryn Halstead. :D the old and new meet.
