Like A Fish in the Sea

Something Fishy, 12x8.5, colored pencil, February 2013

______Remember that line drawing from a while back?  Well, I finally colored it!  I forgot I hadn't yet posted it here, and you guys know how I like my things nice and archived.  The hair on this was one stubborn barnacle to color, it was, but after slaving over it for some time, it eventually decided to make some sense of itself.  I knew that once I began the hair, I couldn't stop--it had to be one, fluid motion (fueled by tea, of course).

______And this week, I have lovely news!  Recently, I was notified that I won an art scholarship for next year!  A few weeks ago, I set up some of my art stuffs in a gallery against others with a similar range of art-based hours.  I was a bit nervous about whether or not I would end up with anything this year since there were so many people being judged; however, somehow, someway, I reigned victorious, obtaining a hearty chunk of scholarship money.

______I apologize if anything I just said made me sound like a presumptuous little pop-tart, but it really was the cherry on top of my week.  'Cept I'd rather it be the chocolate fudge sauce on top of my week, for I'm not a fan of those tiny maraschino cherries.  They're overbearingly red, and suspiciously sweet.

______Have a good one!
