Colorized_Students of a Catholic school w dog circa 1900s



For my Lenten retreat - I colorized a vintage class picture in a Catholic school taken around the turn of the 20th century, along with the nuns and a few teachers. (Plus a dog said to follow one of the students to school and wait outside patiently and then followed her or him again back home every day.)

51 people and a dog to colorize in 3 days, a Hail Mary for each one to complete the 5 decades, give another 2.

I like the unstructured and very casual arrangement of the people in the lineup, even as the nuns so placed created symmetry.. So relaxed, unlike the class pictures I had in high school where the arrangement was stiff.
