Its all over now… well, nearly
Wow that all went very quickly. The degree show has been looming for months and months, and then pfft… its over. Just like that!
What's more I have sold four paintings! Yay! This was totally unexpected and has really boosted my self esteem – maybe there is some sense in being an artist after all… Two of the paintings were sold before the show had even opened, and my work was still under bubble wrap – there must be some very determined buyers out there!
The show itself was a success too, several other people sold work and the general atpmosphere was of nervous excitement. It all looked very professional and people were all dressed up – not a paint-spattered shirt or dog-eared flip-fop to be seen.
All that remains now is the formal assessment, and possible scrutiny by a panel of external examiners. I'm really going to miss everybody when I leave.
