My Paintings in the Student Show!


Blue

Autumn (MIles & Flora)

Self Portrait (with Mask)

These are the paintings I put in my University's student show. I'm pretty sure they are having the time of their lives. (Sorry, but the light in the gallery is doing funky things to each of them)

Today was such a lovely day. There was so much windiness and clean air, the refreshing kind you can breathe in so deeply. Today was one of those days that reassures you that you are, in fact, alive. Of course, while I was falling asleep in biology this morning I didn't feel too alive, but as soon as I was free, I felt it. Me and my friends Jaclyn and Brittany (the three of us are affectionately referred to as "The Muses" by Dr. Rex) went and got Chinese for lunch, and then we watched a movie in British Literature II, and then I got out of my evening class early (which is the true miracle of today)! Brittany and I wandered about in Memorial Hall after all the teachers had gone home. We looked for the secret door that leads to the tower, and we examined the specimens in jars in the biology lab (very outside of my comfort zone, especially when it came to the human fetus). After, I sat in a gazebo with my friend and watched the sunset, all the while there was the wind. Since then I've been working hard on assignments and such, but I keep coming back to remembering what a lovely day I've had. So many wonderful blessings! I'm so thankful for each and every one of them. Now there is a storm featuring beautiful lightning, but I think I'll just go to bed and think about how nice tomorrow will be.

I listened to Electrical Storm on repeat until I cried. I'm not sure why. Its one of those songs that pin-points an emotion so well that you take on that emotion. Its amazing, I love it.
