I got my machine series paintings back from the Studio Gallery on Tuesday. I felt a little deflated. I sold two out of the five, a great percentage, but still I was sorta sad that I didn’t find them all good homes. Then yesterday I got an email from ArtWorkSF asking me to drop off the remaining 3 paintings so they can show them to a client in Menlo Park. So after having them back one day, I sent them off again. They may be there for 6 months or longer. Maybe they will get bought. And even though two days before, I was lamenting having to put them on a shelf, I feel a sense of loss that they are gone again. My little children are growing up and going out into the world on their own. I looked really pensive when I dropped them off. I must get back into the studio after midterms and get more done.
Speaking of midterms, astronomy is killing me. After hours and hours of studying, I think the very best I can hope for on this midterm is a low B. Still, I’m making progress. I think I can still pull a B out of the class if I really apply myself for the rest of the semester and do lots of extra credit. Sad, I really liked my 4.0 GPA at City College. Oh well, I guess one B won’t kill me. I think people will be understanding that as an artist, maybe this science stuff isn’t exactly my forte. I’ll take my 3.69 GPA. It’s nothing to cough at.
