What do you...

Painfully sublime: Swift's painting

... do when you have so much Christmas Break on your hands? With classes starting on February 3rd, the Stedsmen have a lot of time on their hands. Without any doubt, much of that time will be devoted to sleep and napping. Still, a fair share of time will be devoted to Notre Dame Football, especially on this coming Saturday with the ACC Championship game in Charlotte. Still yet, some time will be devoted to watching Premier League soccer matches, especially Tottenham games. Of course, time will be directed to other pursuits and happenings of our Stedsmen, and in this posting, we will be investigating what those pursuits, happenings, and adventures are. During his break, John Swift, Steds senior and aspiring med school student, took up painting and painted- what else but- a wall at his home. See above. Clearly done with a steady hand and an eye for detail, this Steds crown in green captures so much and is a triumphant for this young painter. On his painting, Swift said, "All that I hope is that the Founder can look down and smile when he sees this." I am sure he is John... I am sure he is!
