Reflection to the exhibition of children’s drawings from the Art School Palette+, Kaliningrad, Russia:
“I like the dramatic sizes of the subjects; the use of many colors together to give a more realistic look is well done! I also like the movement created with the tree and tall grass being blown. The cloud in the middle is unexpected, but I really like it and was able to appreciate the variety of layering of colors. Beautiful Work!”
