Finished painting this one today.

Bumblebee
Acrylic on 16" x 20" panel

Ladybug

This is a painting I did today, Ladybug.

It's very textured, that's how I like it. It also looks better in person.

NEVERMIND!!!

FORGET MY LAST POST. . .

I GOT THE JOB!!!!!!!!

PRAISE GOD!!!!

Sigh

I had my final interview with that school today. I don't feel like it went well at all. When I was leaving, I was in my car, and who do I seen walking in? This girl I graduated with. I just know she went in there and knocked me out of the water. The principal is supposed to let me know something today, really soon. Honestly...I'm just sitting here waiting for the bad news. I guess I'll be a substitue teacher the following school year. That's how bad I feel about my job interview.

I should probably just get used to things going this way for me. I mean, it's not like anything ever turns out the way I want it to, right?

And even more, for the people that doubted me, this is just going to be proof for them, and they are going to love it. I really thought I could get this job, but now, I don't know. I just want to lay in my bed and cry all evening. I don't know what else to do. I don't want to work in another county. I want to work here, in this town.

I don't know what I'm going to do to make money. All I know, is that I wish the principal would call me and let me know something!

I just know the other girl knocked me out of the water. :|

I'm a Finalist

I got a voicemail from the principal of the school I am interested in. I am one of two finalists for the teaching position, and I have to go in for yet ANOTHER interview on Thursday, the 22nd, that 4:00. Wish me luck!!! I am determined to get this job. This is MY job. If I don't get it, I think I might slip into a deep depression . . . and I'm only half joking!

I survived the Dream Theater shindig with the boys last night. It was pretty fun, even though I didn't really know any of the songs. An experience . . . none the less . . . !

I'm going to go work on a painting. Hopefully, it will be good, and I will be able to take a photo of it and show it the interview committee.....

Relaxation

My job interview is over with! Now I have to wait another week or so before I will find out if I got it. I HOPE I DID. I'm trying to be positive, but I'm just so afraid that I won't get it. My luck . . . I won't. There goes the negativity again.

I don't have anything at all to do today. WOOHOO. I'm going to sit here and watch Night of the Living Dead and check my email.

I don't have any artwork to post today. Mainly because I'm too lazy to post it. This is a pitiful post, huh?

I'm going to see Dream Theater in Columbus, Ohio tomorrow. So maybe I'll get a good post in on Saturday or Sunday?

College is Over

I'm officially a college graduate! To be honest, I really don't feel any different. My mom asked me if I felt like I was as free as a bird now. I told her no, because I don't. I told her I didn't think I would ever feel that way.

I have a committee interview on Wednesday for a job, and I'm really nervous. I hope I do well. We shall see.

I spray painted my found object and pantyhose sculpture gold. I LOVE it. Here's a photo. I need to take a better one with a white or black background, but this is as good as it gets for now.



I'm getting ready to start on a massive painting. Well, massive for me anyway. I have two huge panels of plywood that I gesso-ed yesterday. I'm not completely sure what the painting is going to be of yet, but I have an idea.

I Want It

I want to be more productive when it comes to my artwork. I want to be amazing. I want to be one of those people that successfully sells their work on Etsy, and on DeviantArt. Why can't I? I think it might all come down to time, and a little bit of money. I graduate on Saturday. Hopefully after then I will have more time to devote to my art. I don't have a lot of funds to go out and buy wonderful supplies, but hopefully that will change soon. I want to be amazing!!!

Student teaching is OVER. Can we all give a big yell of HURRAY!!!!!!!!!! ? My friend is having a party tonight to celebrate. I'm not going. I never was one for beerpong. . . although I would enjoy of a game of cornhole. . . nope...not going. I'll just hang out with my boyfriend and play the new Gran Turismo Prologue that he foolishly bought for PS3. Does this make me a bit antisocial? Maybe. I don't care!

I have an interview in the morning. I'm excited, scared, nervous, happy, anxious, and scared some more. I want it to go well, and it will as long as I don't go blank on the questions. Wish me luck!!!

My advisor wrote me a wonderful letter of recommendation. I've got to go the library to print it out tonight.

Woo.

I'm still not over it.

I'm still not over the fact that I met Ben McKenzie. It's rather pathetic I suppose.

Anywho, it's official. I graduate from college in less than a week! It's a bit surreal. I have a job interview on Friday. I hope I get the job. I want it more than anything.

I don't have much art news going on. Just that I've got that interview for an art teacher position, that I've already mentioned.

I'm going to post some artwork by the artist, Red Grooms? Why Red Grooms you might ask? One of my students during my student teaching had to do research on him. He constantly complained that he couldn't find any information on him, and well, the name just stuck in my head.

Red Grooms is an American multi-media artist, best known for his pop art. Thanks wikipedia!






Would anyone like to rate my blog, here? It would mean oh so much to me! Thanks.

I met Benjamin McKenzie. :O

This blog has absolutely nothing to do with art, education, or anything such as that. I have had a very exciting afternoon!

Benjamin McKenzie, who played Ryan Atwood on The O.C. visited my college campus today to talk about Barack Obama......I MET HIM. I couldn't be more excited.

Sorry for the random-ness, but he was always my favorite on the show. Here's a pic, and I look DISGUSTING in it, but I don't care!
