Finally! A place to paint! My little brother, David, moved to the basement, leaving the bedroom next to mine empty. My parents agreed to let me use it as a painting room-- although I'm sure my mother had ulterior motives: no more painting stuff all over the dining room table. And I don't have to be squished at the little desk I've had since elementary school. I think we'll eventually move the computer in here and it'll be a painting room slash office, but for now, it's all mine! And Toby's, of course. Toby's kennel and bed will be in here, too.
This post has nothing to do with painting of any kind, but something much more important, to me at least. It is my biggest accomplishment thus far and I wanted to write down my thoughts and feelings, while I still have them. I graduated from college yesterday. I spent the last five years attending Westminster College and yesterday was a day that I wasn't sure would ever come. I majored in Aviation: Flight Operations and spent much of my time at the airport, flying airplanes. I haven't flown in a while but I think I ended up with about 350 hours. I earned my private, instrument, commercial, and multi-engine ratings. Toward the end of my education, I decided that flying probably isn't for me. This change of heart was a result of many things, but most of all because my eyes were opened to all the other opportunities in the aviation industry. There is a place for me out there, somewhere. I just need to find it. I was originally pursuing an art minor, which is why it took me
Looks like a beautiful place to paint...Love he desk chair :)
