Well, December is almost officially over, and so is my final student art show. It was a little bittersweet, but also a very happy experience. I can honestly say I had more fun on the 19th than any other art show I've been part of at Croxford. I was presented with overwhelming support from friends, families, and strangers, which felt absolutely incredible considering all the work I had put into my project up to that point. People were just as interested in the story behind my art as in the art itself, which was absolutely thrilling. All in all, it was an incredible 'last hurrah' as a VAM 30. I had the opportunity to explain and present my art to dozens of people, and even left the show that night with 2 potential sales and a commission request! I felt like I was on cloud 9, and still do. I'll attach pictures of my show setup below! Of course, the project wasn't completed as of the show, which is why I was given the opportunity to live paint (an amazing experience, in my personal opinion), but I can happily say that I had completed painting 3/4 and begun 4/4 before Christmas. As much as I've loved having a constant stress outlet throughout the semester, I'm so happy to be finished with this project. I want to potentially make prints, sell the originals, or have them put on display somewhere. I will provide pictures of the finished third painting below, as well as the progress of the fourth painting that I have photographed so far. The next time I will post on here, this project will be complete, and my VAM career coming to a teary close. Until then, Ciao. It's been an absolute pleasure! Edit: My website crashed and the blog didn't save. I just realized, so enjoy this two and a half week late post <3
