Riley applied for talented art this year. She had to turn in 14 pieces of completely original art. She wasn't allowed to look at another picture while drawing, and she couldn't have extensive coaching. It had to come from her head, or by looking at an object. Here's a few of her pieces. She had a drawing test at her school after she turned in her portfolio. She passed! Now she has a test scheduled with the state this week. She is so excited and a tiny bit nervous. Prayers are appreciated. Thanks!
