On the eve of Senior Art Show put up day….

…I wrote a paper, skipped two classes, went to one class, taught two swim classes, framed seven drawings / paintings, labeled all of my art (Dad, this does not mean I signed them) AND am working on my Artist’s Statement (which I am having a difficult time writing).

I just recently got back to my room after spending hours and hours in the art studio prepping for the show and was greeting by a flashing red light telling me a voicemail was awaiting me on my campus phone. It was my painting teacher telling me she had seen some of my stuff in the art room and she called my paintings fabulous and in general she is forcing me to adore her more than I already do. It was just what I needed and now I will continue on with my Artist’s Statement.

Tomorrow morning I will, with many of the other seniors, help hang up all of my art work on the walls… we get to decide how it’s hung (to a point) and get the feel of how a real art show would go. I am very excited.

Side note: I have spent HOURS working on this art stuff and I still feel ready to go… I almost want to draw or do something like that. Why can I not feel this way when I am working on a paper?
