Today was a good day.

This morning I found out I was accepted as an artist for the School Bus Graveyard project. 🎨🚌

I had seen quite a few talented artists commenting on the post, so I'm honored to be included and excited for the opportunity to paint alongside other creative people.

Sometimes it feels like you're working, creating, and pushing forward without seeing much progress. Then something comes along that reminds you to keep showing up, keep creating, and keep believing in what you're building.

Thank you to everyone who has supported Gorilla J's Studios over the years. Every purchase, share, comment, and word of encouragement has meant more than you know.

Now it's time to get back to painting.

(Also, as a nice bonus, I received my acceptance email for the Lavonia Harvest Festival today as well.)

I will be at Cain Farm this Saturday. 50+ vendor, so there will be a lot of good stuff to buy. Come see us.

SOLD!

Huge thank you to everyone who stopped by today, bought a painting or print, followed the page, or just took the time to encourage me.
Ended the day with 3 paintings sold and 3 prints sold after almost not setting up at all this morning. Sometimes you just have to show up and trust the process.

Every conversation, follow, compliment, and sale means more than you know. Thank you all for supporting Gorilla J’s Art. 🎨🦍

Three crosses on a hill.
One carried the weight of the world.
This is Good Friday — the day everything changed.
