My name is Jayla and I am 10 years old.  I started painting when I was a year old. I like to work with watercolors to create floral art and landscapes.  I also like to draw cartoon characters.  One of my favorite artists is Dale Chihuly. In addition to playing soccer, art is one of my favorite hobbies. 

This mask symbolizes happiness and strength.  The orange background represents the sun.  Though all of the flowers are different looking, they are all blossoming together.  My favorite is the tallest flower that is a blend of turquoise, sky blue and cyan.  It is the strongest flower and also represents leadership.  The simplicity shows that happiness blooms from within.
