I don’t have many of my childhood drawings left (I probably have maybe 1/3 of my original drawings), but I still have this acrylic painting that I did when I was 6 years old (It’s my most cherished childhood art). I expressed to my parents how much I wanted to paint, so they enrolled me into a painting class at the recreational center in town; I was intimidated because I was the youngest kid there (there were even a few teenagers there). The class was only a few weeks long, but at the last day of class, I painted my work of art--it was a lakeside landscape with an island and flowers (every student had to paint the same thing, so it was interesting to compare our work). Even though my painting looks like what any average 6-year-old would do, I consider it my finest masterpiece.
