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.

  (me painting in 3rd grade) I am in the 5th grade and I'm eleven years old. I have always been interested in art, painting and learning about other artists and their styles. I have been doing many paintings myself, I have one corner in my house filled with my easel, paintings and supples. At least once a day I could be found standing behind my easel, absorbed in a painting that I'm working on. Starting in 3rd grade, I have sold my artwork to people in my class and also one of my teachers (Thanks to Ms. Biggerstaff for starting it all), as well as other friends, family and people who have commissioned a piece.

This was for an art contest with the theme Around The World  Hospitals were requesting art to cheer the patients that couldn't have visitors due to COVID-19, so I sent this one in  these were the first two oil paintings I did. the one of the flag, I painted on the 4th of July, and the face I painted to get used to my new oil paints

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...
