Art Room and Excited for the Weekend

So I spent some time in the art room yesterday, and was enjoying looking at all the past art I've done and the way it's arranged on the walls.  It's nice to see it all together and see the progression over the years.  I completely stole the idea from a friend, and I love the way it looks as a display.  I put most everything up,even the ones I think aren't great.  How else to see improvement unless you consider the "not so great" items along with the "great" ones too?  Here's a peek:

One of the paintings on the top row of the first pic is the work of my friend, whom I will get to visit this weekend!!  I am very excited and can't wait to get in the car and GO.  We always have a lot of fun and I find a lot of inspiration by spending time with her.  We will leave Friday after work, and drive down to Georgia....a few hours driving.  I think I'll take my sketchbook for the trip.  I have some ideas floating around in my head that I'd like to get on paper.
