Self portrait of a young girl wearing floral patterns and barrettes in her hair.

Masterpiece

I’m wearing a green and white shirt with white and gold pants. My favorite color is green because it reminds me of rainforests, lakes, ponds, rivers, and the rain—and I think white and gold look excellent together because those colors together give off rich vibes. I included many flowers because I love nature, and flowers really represent nature a lot. My favorite accessory is the barrettes in my hair because they remind me of when I was younger.  I imagine a rainforest where the breeze of air would flow like a waterfall, and the water would sound like music to my ears.

The greatest challenge was choosing the color for the skin and outfit. The greatest thing about making portraits is seeing myself in an art form. When you look at my portrait, I want you to hear rain falling down from the sky. When you look at my portrait, I want you to feel a drizzle of rain on your head. I want you to imagine a rainforest full of animals. I dedicate this portrait to my dad with gratitude for my father because he’s a great role model and a great person in general.  My portrait is a love letter to my dad, my uncle, and my younger brother.
