I haven't told you, but I sent my drawing of my sister to an art gallery in Stockholm where a jury were going to pick the drawings they thought was the best. 45 young artists got in and I was one of them!

The day before the gallery was open to the public, all of us who had sent a drawing to the gallery was invited to see each others artwork. I pretended that I wasn't the artist of my drawing so I could listen to peoples reactions when they saw the drawing.
Some of them looked at the drawing for a few seconds and then moved away, but finally stopped and returned to the drawing. Th reason was that they thought the drawing was a photography at first, but returned when they realised that it actually was a drawing.

After around thirty minutes it started to get a bit boring to walk around so we were planning to go home, butthen the owners of the gallery wanted to gather all the artists in the big hall.
What they were actually going to do, was that they were going to give a prize to three young artists who had made they best drawings.
And you now what...........I WON FIRST PRIZE!!!

A week later a journalist came to our school and was going to interview me because one of my art teachers had told them about me and my talents.
