I had the most amazing art teacher in grade nine. The passion she had for art glistened from her being as she taught us all sorts of amazing techniques. This painting was supposed to look 3D. I drew the lines on a piece of canvas and painted it. She thought it was so awesome and she asked if I would enter it in the art exhibit for the Calgary Stampede. Sure! And it got accepted! I still remember walking through the exhibit and seeing my art on display along with the hundreds of other pieces created by school children.
After all these years this canvas still sits in the trunk along with some of my other youthful keepsakes.
