This picture is very special to me for a number of reasons.
1. It is the first picture of mine that I looked at and even considered posting in intermediate. Never have I felt such pride for a piece. I eventually decided against it, but if you guys think it's worthy, go ahead and ask someone to move it.
2. This is a picture of my violin. I own the instrument in this picture. It's... real. This work actually has sentimental and physical value to me.
3. (This one's hard to say) I am in an advanced orchestra, and recently bombed my first play-test. Honestly, my nerves took such a firm hold that I nearly dropped my violin WHILE PLAYING because I was shaking. I retook the test today though, and aced it. I can even remember smiling while I played, I felt so happy to have conquered my nerves for once. I have test anxiety that varies depending on how badly I want to do well, and I want to be a first violin with every fiber of my being. So you can imagine how I fell the first time around.
4. This is my 100th Oekaki, and it means a lot to me. I've come so far in my art, and I love what I do.
So, there you have it! I would appreciate acknowledgement (comments &/or likes) because I worked incredibly hard on this. Thank you for reading this! This is for my use only.
