Sunflower

One of my goals on my 21 Before 21 list was

17. Buy a piece of art by Jamie Calkin.

I've loved his watercolors of Downtown Athens since freshman year, but as a college student, collecting art isn't necessarily most practical use of money. I saw him at the North Georgia Folk Festival and couldn't take my eyes off this stunning 3x3 Sunflower painted on a wood panel. It's now hanging perfectly above my bed. I wake up smiling every morning.

I'm glad I waited.
