I have no idea what you thought you might be getting into when you followed a link to this post. Maybe some painting in the ConsoleHost, because if that is not a thing, it should be. Anyway, that is not what this post is about.

My daughter has come up a few times during my years of writing here. Poor girl. In the first below picture, she is doing an art project when she was probably five. She does not know much about PowerShell, other than it is something her father is passionate about. Hearing me say it a time or two or two-thousand has apparently influenced her. If someone asked her what her dad does for work, she would probably say “PowerShell,” before “computers.”

This picture is from her playing the 1 to 100 Game in 2016. There was also a recent post where she was mentioned called Testing Multiplication Facts. That was a PowerShell tool made for her.

So back to painting. Today we did a painting project together. I wanted to see how she would do painting the PowerShell Girl again after painting her two years ago.

To begin, the first thing we did was trace a printed image on two canvases. Luckily she found the template with the art supplies. I did not want to make that again or attempt to draw it freehand. It may be hard to tell, but even with the light coming in it was not easy to trace.

This next picture is from the table we were going to use, but we had to relocate. Still, good photo.

Here is the second table where we set up shop. Everything was ready to go.

After a solid 45 minutes to maybe an hour, we were done. Here are her two paintings. The one from 2020 and the one from today! I think we would have both wanted the hair to be less black and more purple, but it was the best we were able to do with the paints this time. She was thrilled with her newest painting. Maybe we will do it again in 2024.

There are plenty of passionate dads out there. My passion just happens to be technology, computers, automation, and most of all, PowerShell — so these types of things happen. It was quality time spent making art for the home office. And now that the office is back together — there was a flooring project that just ended — it is time to get the older, and now newer, paintings on the wall. Sorry, that there is not much to learn here this time. I figured why have just a picture on Twitter when can have a post here, too. Back with more PowerShell soon — the way you would expect to find it.
