Artist's Comments

I really didn't want to put this up, but my mom is standing next to me and is making me post this. She feels that it is a good thing to share with my friends and a good show of my art achievements in the real world.

This painting was a winner in the 28th annual Congressional Arts Competition from California's 8th Congressional district. I was actually going to get a photo taken with Nancy Pelosi, unfortunately, she was too busy at the time. The representatives there offered to schedule another one, so I guess that'll happen sometime later.

I honestly... thought that was a picture. I can't get over how beautifully done this is! Just to reiterate what other commenters are saying~ the colors you used are brilliant. I love those sorts of lanterns, they're very festive. GOOD FOR YOUR MAMA; MAKING YOU POST THIS! Give her a thumbs up.

Let me first say congratulations on the award, I believe that it was well deserved! I love your use of color in this, how it's even reflected off of the wall and such. It's just so amazing, I mean when I saw this in my inbox, I believed it to be a picture. The details in this are truly remarkable. I'm so glad your Mom made you post this. And once again, congratulations on the awesome award.
