No doubt about it, folks are bored out of their damn minds right now while being forced to stay at home. What can you do next? You’ve read all your books, planted your garden, and watched every single thing on Netflix.
Well, here’s a fun challenge you can participate in if you’re looking for something new to do. The Getty Museum in Los Angeles challenged people to recreate famous paintings at home using only things they have on hand.
And I think you’ll be very impressed with what people have been able to come up with!
1. This is awesome!
The face paint really seals the deal.
