The Faroe Islands are located halfway between Iceland and Scotland. They are owned by Denmark but have a similar "Viking" type language as Iceland does. Tom and I went to the Island of Vagar, part of the Faroes. It was charming, filled with small villages that had the sod roof houses.

So on the ship, we painted a sod roof church. You also see lots of stone walls. My students were getting quite proficient at rocks and stones, grass, and skies!
I had a married couple, Mikako and Ryuji, who came with their 16 month old daughter. Their daughter was so well behaved! She let her parents paint and took a nap each day in the stroller or in the snugglie while her parents painted away.
I have one painting that is unfinished, but I didn't record who did it. If it's yours, let me know. I'll update the blog.
