It has been a
while. In the past weeks I have constantly thought about what awesome post I
could write, only to remind myself that I had multiple paintings to finish,
thousands of words to type, and hundreds of answers to select. I have now
dubbed the week leading up to Finals Week as Project Week. I even overheard a
girl whining to her mom on the phone about how last week was really more
stressful than this one (finals).
But, alas, it is
all over now and I have but one small paper to turn in, goods to collect and
then I’m off to Chicago to see Punch Brothers perform. Then it’s down to Texas
to help my mom unpack from her recent move and time to work on applications to
MFA programs. Do I get a break?
In celebration
of the Christmas season though, I have put together an awesome grouping of Etsy
products for which you should strongly consider returning those big name gifts
you bought. The theme is I’m Dreaming Of
A Gold Christmas.
In the upcoming
weeks I will update you on which masters programs I am applying to, and show
you my finished drawing that I showed you the in-progress work last post. I
also finished two more paintings after weeks of not picking up a brush. I don’t
know why, but for some reason the added pressures of Project Week and Finals makes
me want to paint like crazy.
Let me know what
you think of my gift ideas!
