Hello November

Got all my Thanksgiving cards made up today, now all that's left is writing my notes inside with change of address information. So exciting! About two months ago I found a great art school in New York that I thought might be good for me, called the Grand Central Academy of Art. The school only accepts 15 students per year, and I got accepted from my portfolio, which was very exciting. And I thought everything was setting me up for a path to move to New York, but after some really heavy thinking about it, and searching for living situations in Manhattan/Brooklyn, plus after really thinking hard about what I wanted to gain from the time spent on more studies, I decided to decline going down the New York road. Since then I've been able to re-evaluate how much time I want to spend getting better at oil painting in a classical sense, and put my own time into it, not divide my time between other mediums, such as sculpting. After deciding to make Georgia my home, I did find a home, a house to call home here. And I'm so excited for it. I have no doubts in my mind at all that this is the place I should be, and this is exactly what I should be doing. In preparation for not having any free time this crazy month, I made my Thanksgiving cards early so that I would definitely have something to send to friends.
