Why I'm Taking Oil Painting

When i was first handed the signup sheet for dropped classes, I immediately glanced at Oil Painting.  I had struggled with an art class the previous spring, and I was interested in challenging myself to give art "another chance."  I was determined to find a new medium to work with, and accomplish something.  I feel like maybe even signing up for the class was an accomplishment in and of itself.  Before this class, i had never done ANY Oil Painting what-so-ever, so, that being said, this is going to be a very interesting, and refreshing experience.
