Lifetime Learner and the Elaine Dance

Looking over the college courses offered for spring of 2027, I realized I can take more than one class if I want. Doh! So silly sometimes. I had always limited myself to one class per semester because I was either working full-time, or did not want to travel to the campus. 

Here is my Dream Dress. Wouldn't that be gorgeous on stage? Seen in the window of a bridal shop in Folsom, California. 

I digress, on my wish list for this semester are:

Painting 1 (in person)
Intro to Theater (online)

Costume Construction (hybrid - in person and online)
Only 15 allowed in this class. No prerequisites. Simply amazing if I could get into THAT class. 

That all fits in with the Instagram antics I have been performing. Costuming up to do a modified version of the Elaine Dance. If you have never seen this clip, you are in for a treat! If I get into that Costume Construction class, I PROMISE to do a reel of the Elaine Dance.

Segueing to a report on my latest painting adventure - bird cage. I began a canvas and was doing ok until I made the main bird LOOK LIKE A SQUIRREL! There are numerous other problems with it. 

I decided to black out the canvas and start over. I was growing to rip it out and throw it away but why waste a 24" x 24" canvas? Maybe a still life on the black background. Light is reflecting off of the wet paint in the image below.
