This post is a continuation of the previous post, showcasing work made by students in the League’s online classes.
We have now been in quarantine for twelve months. In the last year, the League has grown in numbers, and our artistic voice as a school has evolved.
We started working with Special Guest Star Fran O’Neill when she visited us in February 2020, and Fran was one of our first distant online instructors when we went into quarantine. Having just moved from New York, she joined us from Australia.
This is one of a series of posts showcasing artwork produced through this pandemic: our one year anniversary of online classes. Throughout this terrible year, we have shared some beautiful moments.
These artworks are borrowed from classes. Instead of viewing them as finished works, we hope you will appreciate the excitement of these experimental works in process.

Winslow Homer (1836-1910) was an American seascape and landscape painter. Homer worked primarily in oil and watercolor paints, creating a prolific body of work that chronicled his working vacations.
