I am talented. I love sports, art, music, and my family. I’m colorblind but I can still see colors well enough to make art. I like abstract cubism and came up with my own, Picasso Man. I chose black, blue and green as colors that go well together. When I look at Picasso Man, I feel proud that I can make artwork that people like.
