Someone was walking around the room and placing frames around my mom’s oil paintings that were hung up on the walls. They were being retouched, with my mother’s permission, of course. However it looked more like the canvases were being repurposed for new paintings instead, as they quickly painted over the original work.

They asked for my input as to how to make one of the paintings have an autumnal feel, so I picked up a brush and added some orange onto the leaves. The moment the brush touched the canvas, I was immediately told that I had to register as an artist and take their course before doing anything else.

Art supplies had to be checked out of a daily rotation except the supplies looked more like plastic blue and orange squeaky toys. I had chosen to take a video editing course and someone told me that adding in stock music to my project was better than no music.
