Shelby has had an opportunity to use some of her skills this semester! She is enrolled in Art this semester but it’s difficult to do a lot of art when you’re doing an overseas program. So – when the opportunity became available, she jumped on it. The Oldenburgs found out that she enjoyed art & gave her a project to do. They had a large area next to their fireplace where the wall was damaged & paint was peeling. They commissioned her to paint a giant Baobab tree silhouette for them there. So – she did!! It looked really good when she finished. The Baobab tree is sometimes called the Devil's tree here because it looks like the roots are what is sticking up out of the ground. It only leafs out one time a year & that doesn't last for long.
You can see her finished product above!
