The painting class was fun, but it is clear I simply do not have a knack for oils, as satisfying as they are to mush them around and mix them together. No one but me, my teacher, and my classmates will ever know the extent of my limitations for sure, though, because I dropped my just-completed, still-wet painting in the parking lot, smearing everything around and embedding filth and gravel in the thick parts. Ah, well.
