This is my son Austin. My son's are so different! I have two that can't get enough of sports and everything that goes along with it. But Austin has always been into art. He get's a lot of slack for not being the "typical boy" His art teacher entered two of hsi projects in our county fair this year. We went yesterday to see how he did. the one he is most proud of was a sketch he did of himself. We endearingly call it, "Austin's big ol' head." LOL. On our way to the fair I had to keep reassuring him that it was an absolute honor just to be selected. He is so tenderhearted. As a Mommy I was a nervous wreck, not knowing how we were going to handle it if he didn't win. We built him up just like we do our other son before a big game. We get there and we find the "Big ol' head" and it didn't place. I could see the disappointment seeping from Austin. I still said I wanted a picture of him with the "big ol' head" He laughed and so this is what we got.
A closeup of the "big ol' head"
And then we looked for his painting. It was a project on pointillism. It is composed of dots from a q tip. And looked what happened!!!!!!!
Yahoo!!! First place!!! It was a good day to be Austin and a good day to be Austin's Mommy! We were overjoyed!!

Wooo Hoooo..go Austin!!!! I think he did an awsome job on his portrait...but the dot picture is super amazing.
Austin my love I think you did a wonderful job...I don't think there is a Grandmother more proud and excited for you than this one or for that matter a Grandfather as he was the first one to see what artistic potential you have. I am so happy he encouraged you in your painting and art work. You keep up the good work and who knows you may be a famous artist one day.
