BFA Show

This is a long overdue shout-out to my amazing husband for putting on his BFA (Bachelor in Fine Arts) Show! He is basically graduated, just needs to finish his website, and I am still trying to talk him into walking in the Spring. Tens of thousands of years going to UVU (really 8 years on and off, but still) and changing your major five times calls for a big celebration! This needs to happen!
At his Art Show he displayed 6 caricatures and 6 portraits. This is a caricature of my Uncle Craig who started Gandolfos, this was one of my favorites! The detail in the background and props are a lot of fun, especially the dead Yankee player that he is stepping on, GO METS! :)

I am so proud of Dan for finally getting here! It has been amazing to watch him grow and improve with every picture he has drawn and painted. Just when I think he can't get any better he does! I am also happy that I don't have to deal with having an art studio in my front living room anymore, but I am more happy that all his hard work is paying off and that he was able to share this wonderful talent with family and friends.

OH MY GOSH!! He is SOOOO talented! There is a guy that was in our ward in California, who is an artist as well. He does illustrations for children's books, designs video games, etc. he makes A LOT of money! I LOVE the work your hubby has done. What a great accomplishment.

I wish we could have been there, but thanks for sharing what you did with us while we were in Utah. Maybe I should do a course in Creative Writing so that I can finish some of my projects and we can get a book out together. Geez - I can't tell you how many scraps of paper I have with children's book ideas.
Also - Joel didn't walk for his undergrad - he figured since he was just going to keep on going in school, what was the point. I'm hoping he will walk for med school though - like you said - 8 years is a reason to CELEBRATE!!!

Walk you bumb... I didn't want to either but I'm glad I did. You don't spend that much time and money not to seal the deal... Plus are you really going to take that moment away from Gwen and Vaughn... Congrats man..
