Art Spirit, the Calaveras County Arts Council's 15th Annual High School Art Exhibit

This year 147 students from three high schools, Calaveras, Bret Harte, and Mountain Oaks, entered 210 works in 10 categories. Each student could enter up to two artworks total in any of the categories. I chose two of my best watercolors to enter. I also put them up to sell.

 On March 10th the show opened, and winners were recognized. It turns out I won both 1st and 2nd in watercolor, AND, I sold both pieces -- College Money!

"Sky High" 1st Place Watercolor Painting

 

"Colors of the Wind" 2nd Place Watercolor Painting

 I also applied for an art scholarship from the Arts Council. Sometime in April or May I should hear back to see if I won the scholarship.

Anyways, I am having fun painting. Watercolors are definitely my favorite, but I am experimenting with Acrylic a little in class. I hope to develop my talent more in college, trying out illustration at BYUI and eventually animation at BYU. One day I will be back in California working in Emeryville as part of the Pixar team. That would be awesome.
