I recently entered the 2012 Congressional Art Show. My Artwork was picked as the grand prize winner! I will be going to Washington D.C. in June for the ceremonial ribbon cutting at the next show. My piece will be hung in the Capitol Building for the next year. The theme of my painting was bullying. After ripping out numerous newpaper articles, I applied them to my canvas and glazed over it with acrylics. The yellow popping out of the newspaper is meant to represent the good coming out of the bad. The girl in the upper left hand corner is meant to represent how we should not let bullying bring us down, but instead soar above it all. This piece turned out the way originally pictured it to and I was very happy with the final image.
