2014 Summary of Art

:onfire:  Merciful heaven, is 2014 seriously done and over with?



Welp, it sure feels like the fastest year of my life. Phew!  To sum it up, since most of my life is just serviving semester by semester, I finished my A.A. degree after some seriously stressing days in May, then I completed the rest of my prerequisites last month (passed Calculus woohoo!), and now I'm only a mere three days away from starting my first classes at the University of Florida! :bulletorange:Dark Blue Bullet - F2U!

Other than school madness in May, I finally got to attend this big concert festival a few hours away and see Vampire Weekend, Blue October, Haim, American Authors, Tegan and Sara, Civil Twilight, and a whole slew of other fantastic bands. :D I very rarely go out to these sorts of events, so it was quite the treat. Not to mention it was honestly perfect weather for it... overcast, cool breeze, not too crowded either.

In June, I was so happy my little brother flew on his first plane alone to come visit me and my sister all the way from Texas. He got to stay with us for several weeks, and it just could not have made me happier. :meow: It was crazy though, I hadn't seen the little guy for two years since moving for college and the kid seriously grew like two feet or something, because he came up to about my shoulder last I saw him, and then BAM suddenly he's a whole head taller than me! I just think it's hilarious how out of the four of us kids, he's the youngest but tallest, and my sister is the oldest but shortest lol.

Later in July I got to see my cousin get married. It was a big to-do for everyone here, and since I had never really been involved in a wedding as a family member, it was exciting, stressful, happy, and a little sappy, but so lovely. :love:

In August, I turned 20 years old and moved everything I own into my new apartment across town to be closer to the UF campus all on the same friggin day, Oi! September saw just a whole lot of drama and trips and oh yes more stress... mostly to do with family, classes, and on top of that my dad got remarried (which I wasn't able to attend, cause school + 1000 miles).

Let's see, what else huh... the rest of the year kind of flew by in a flurry of holidays and final exams mostly. Now it's 2015, and I've got a lovely cold keeping me in bed for the last precious days of winter break before I start orientation on Monday! Anyway, sorry this was such a wall of text to get through... but seriously, thank you guys so much for all the favs, comments, and watches this year! I know I'm not exactly making leaps and bounds with my art recently, but I am having fun still and loving every minute I get to paint in my spare time. Although you don't see any traditional pieces up there this year, I have done a couple here and there. Nothing fancy, and some not entirely finished lol, but hey I've already got a big oil landscape in the works for my aunt and uncle, so who knows? :) I hope you all have had a fantastic year and can charge into the next one with pencils sharpened and brushes ready, I know I am! :heart:

Right?! The years are starting to speed by WAY too fast. :faint:

I love the variety in all your work. You infuse a huge sense of soul into your pieces. :heart: That Elsa one from March is one of my all-time favorites anyone has done of her. :)

Let's goooooo 2015! :la:
