Gloria's Customized Paintings

This painting took me a very long time to finish. I won first in opaque paintings and grand prize in junior arts  This is a picture of my chicken, Ruby. All I did was take a picture of her against the fence and I won second place! Now Ruby is an award winning chicken! This is done with calligraphy pens and pastels. It won first place in polychromatic art.   This is a self portrait that did not place at all.

My mom and I went to the Houston museum of Fine Arts and saw many paintings that I studied because of the UIL Art Smart competition. Last year I won first place and the 2020 competition is coming up soon. I saw paintings from both years. We stayed at the museum for 7 hours. First my mom's cousin's husband, James, who works there, gave us a tour.  2019 -Madonna and child with the infant St. John the Baptist painting that I like because of its bright colors 2020-The Adoration of the christ child painting has so many details it was neat to see them all up close. 2020 - View of the Dogana Santa Maria della Salute was really pretty and the water looks like it is actually moving. 2020- Mademoiselle Boissere Knitting 2020 - Sunset on the Lagoon Venice was painted with tiny dots called Pointalism that you can't notice without seeing it in real life. Mom loved the texture. 2019 - 3 Umbrellas 2019 - The Basket Chair was painted by a famous woman artist Berthe Mo

 My church does a fundraiser for mission projects called Photizo. All the art done in services, and art donated by local artist is sold.  It was a super amazing evening and the first time was art was in an auction for sale. I was glad to be a port and look forward to more in future.

This painting is one of my favorites I've ever done. it was commissioned by my uncle and the canvas is 20-30. It took a very long time and the words on it are from Revelations 22:2.
