I am all about color and design. Big, bold, beautiful color and stylized design!
In 4th grade, I won 1st place for the fire awareness poster coloring contest throughout the entire school district. I worked really hard on the piece. I colored it with crayons on the hot concrete stairs leading up to the front door of our home. Then I rubbed it smooth to blend the colors. The crayon lumps were gone and it was glossy from the waxy crayons.
In addition, my friends and I made a deal. They would draw pictures. I would take their drawings and color them with crayons, colored pencils and paints. I was teased I did not stay in the lines and cried over it. I laugh over it now and think of it as a life lesson that would aid me in my artistic career. I am true to myself today with bright, bold color and still love the glitz of high gloss.
