First Art Gallery Showing!

Six weeks ago we were handed a storage room. Littered all over the floor were bulky boxes, dreary drawers, and obtrusively in the middle were two huge dusty desks. Six weeks later, trudging through murky waters, rolling through rugged mountains, and navigating through raging tempest, with perseverance, diligence, and inner fortitude, we arrived upon a transformed room. Transfigured, the boxes became deep thoughtful paintings, the drawers became invigorating collages, and the ugly desks crumbled away to reveal a furnished table on which we laid down treats for our prospective gallery viewers.

We poured blood, sweat, and tears, in our paintings, in our work. Each and every painting that hangs on the wall today contains a deep history. They aren't just random colors splotched together in desperate hope for a crude painting. They are a blend of colors that reflect ourselves. We did not make these paintings with our hands; we made it from our hearts. Each stroke of paint was guided by our soul, our emotions flowered the colors, and our sweat mixed the paint.

One O' clock ticked, and the gates were opened. Urban denizens swarmed our front gates in eager anticipation to view what we have done these past weeks. Seventy pair of eyes gazed upon our work, comments were flung all around,

"The collage talks to me"
"These works of art should be in a real museum."
"You can really see and feel the time and effort put into the work."
"The art is beautiful, I love every piece."

We must also mention and cannot disregard the few dozen Good Job's and Nice Work's that were handed to us. All these comments contributed to five heart felt smiles that spanned across our faces at the end of the day. We were proud, proud of ourselves, proud of the experience, proud of our work, proud of our gallery.

Today was only the first of our art gallery showing, it was a mere trial run, but it was met with tremendous success. Tomorrow will be our second opening, starting at 7 P.M. and ending at 9 A.M., we will host another art showing. This time it will be much more exasperating, exuberant, extraordinary, and utterly mind blowing.
