Goodbye, Fall!

Tomorrow is the last day of my last fall quarter at SCAD!  What kind of madness is this?  It has been a beautiful quarter, full of wonderful things:  music, art, good friends, and unhindered life!  God has put his hand on my years here, and given me more than I could have asked.  I have been trying to fall prey to the classic senior undergrad anxiety---stressing about getting by until school ends, getting by after school ends, getting by right now.  I know that I'm taken care of, and I am doing what I can to keep my head in the present, soaking in all the goodness that surrounds me, right now.  I am a resigned victim of nostalgia and romanticism---I frequently look back on times past, even the most impoverished moments of my life, and wish for them deeply again.  I forget about the preciousness of this time that I am living now, with its' rush and worry, is still mine.  To just be, in it.

But I digress, to the reason for this blog post.  I corrected and updated my artist resume (thanks to my professor).  I also found a few more one-hour portraits that I made for Portrait Painting this past winter quarter.  The portraits are in oil on toned canvas panel, 9" x 12", all from life.
