Lucy • 12 • Meath

The painting is based on my portrait. I wanted to show myself as creative and colorful on the outside but there will always be a part of my life that won't be colourful and bright so that is why I did the face in shades of grey. The teardrop is representing the fact I cant always hold in my tears and it's okay to cry sometimes. The hat shows I can also be funny and have giggles in me.
