Semi-Formal & Graduation

I know this is yet another post without artwork, but I wanted to share them!

 Rachel & I before Semi-Formal. 

Full shot of my dress. I had so much fun wearing it, regardless of how many people accidentally stepped on my train.

 My tassel needed to be fixed haha. 

I DID IT! 

I posted this on Facebook with this caption:

"My lovely art teacher, Mrs. Smith. I wouldn't be where I am today as an artist without her. Her honest critiquing, sharp eye, and creative solutions have helped improve my artwork. Thanks to her impact and inspiration I plan to pursue art in college with hopes of becoming an art teacher. I'm so grateful I took Mrs. Smith's Basic Drawing Class in 7th grade and that she continues to teach others to fall in love with art. High school has been a success and I'm quite ready for my next adventure."

The last slide on CBA's Graduation Slideshow. 

A very heartfelt farewell to everyone there, I've learned and I've grown through the ups and downs of homeschool and high school with them all.

Summer Days Have Begun

We got to spend last Sunday afternoon at my favorite park.

This lovely 300 acre lake never bores me.

And I got a new kayak! Named 'Banana Boat' after the sunscreen brand ;)

Britney's kayak (my old one) is named 'Mauve'

and Mom's is ' The Kiwi'

Kayak Selfie!

Britney told me I looked like a girly country girl.

We parked under some low- hanging tree branches.

And then we got out to take in the view.

Britney got a selfie stick and we played with it before I went to work one day.

My Senior Semi-Formal portrait! 

I'm so glad Summer Adventures have started.

Slowly regaining my excitement for art. 

My horrid and rushed attempt at John Smith.

First successful decent face in a while!

Sleepy couple sitting on a park bench.

I didn't even give them clothes haha.

My Instagram post yesterday :)

My reminder to be kind to everyone while I'm at work, and to never let my light fade.

I was suddenly inspired for this. *shrugs shoulders*

And my very first commission piece for a dear friend. 

I'm getting it back people!
