I suppose not that much time has passed since my last blog post (at least less than usual) but a lot has certainly happened.
To start with the bad news - I didn't get into the Academy. Which wasn't that much of a surprise, but it did still make an impact on my confidence; more than I was willing to admit at first. For a few weeks I admit I couldn't look at or even think about art or anything associated with it without feeling depressed. I'm feeling a bit better now, much thanks to the reorganization of my working place at home, and certain positive twitter comments (you know who you are).
Besides that, the positive news is that I have been accepted into the art history bachelor program at the University of Oslo. I am so relieved and so happy to be focusing on something art related and still getting a "proper" education. Studies start just three weeks from now, it's very exciting and a little intimidating, which I'm sure is just how it's supposed to be.
I will keep painting on the side and keep displaying my work on the web site, however the updates may be infrequent... or that is to say even more infrequent than it already is..
To finish off a post about so many different things I thought I'd post a link to a work by an artist I discovered recently and really like:
