My Artist!

One of Jada's art projects from art class was selected to be displayed at the Art Gallery in the Student Exhibit.

She was beaming with accomplishment while waiting for me to read her letter from school. She is excited and proud. As am I.
I couldn't wait to get a look at it so I headed there just a bit ago (its on the same block as my work). There were nine pieces selected from her school.

I have never been to an art gallery so I didn't quite know what to expect. I was walking down the long hallway to get to the lobby area to be directed to the exhibit. I couldn't help but feel so proud of her. In that moment, I was able to let go of all of the sadness and other emotions that have a hold on me as of lately and just be proud and in the moment.

So there were nine from her school. As I am looking at them, I am wondering which is hers because none of them had names on it. So I start looking at the back of each one which was difficult because they were all taped on from the back in four spots. I was waiting for security. Then, I looked at the one at the top, and there it was. She put her name inside of one of her circles. So smart my girl is! I then had to stand on a chair to get this picture and again I was waiting for security but a moms gotta do what a moms gotta do!
