it’s the last day of finals week. can’t wait for it to be over. i wrote an earlier post feeling so burnt out about everything but for some reason, i felt like it was JUST beginning tonight. in less than 24 hours, i’ll be released from the wrath-like grip of my textbooks and study guides! woopwoop.
but anyways, this week has been really really really blessed. i think it was tuesday morning, while checking gmail i realized i got an email from the Tyler, the art director from the Culver Center in downtown rside. turns out, i was one of the selected 5 artists (undergrads + grads were allowed to submit artworks to be displayed in the Chancellor’s house…I submitted one of my 2009 paintings about two months ago) chosen by the Chancellor himself & his wife to have our pieces put up for display! apparently people from around the state will see the installations. basically, some paintings have been sold in the past but that is not a guarantee. & for some reason, the insurance value for my painting (determined by size) had been set at $300…..
the unlucky part of it all was that i left my painting at home….thinking i wouldn’t hear from them for a while. i called my parents telling them the good news and explained to them the fear about not being able to take up the offer because my painting was an hour away from school (& i don’t have a car here). but God sure does some amazing things. i think my parents were really proud of this opportunity and my dad offered to drop off the painting (he came at 9pm!). i love him so much<3 regardless of what he did for me that night, i still love him with every bit of my heart<3
i still can’t believe that happened. dropping it off at the culver center (and my little bike ride adventure downtown…..) felt amazing.
i don’t know if we will be allowed to view the paintings (because most functions at the Chancellor’s house are private) but i’m so so grateful for this opportunity. the paintings will be up until the end of the school year….so two quarters!
Rejoicing, always. “The Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, my father’s God, and I will exalt him.” Exodus 15:2
