We knew Jared was going to be an artist from preschool days. He's getting ready to graduate from Laguna College of Art and Design in May and is showing this piece in the "best of the Best" exhibition/competition. Not exactly who it seems at first glance - yes, it appears to be the queen of England, but it's actually Steve the drag queen. Meticulous in his work, Jared agonized over each pearl, fretted about the way the light shone on the silk. I watched this painting evolve and it is spectacular in the details. He got the best place in the gallery - right at the front door with all the light bouncing off his work. It is deserving of an award and I hope he gets a buyer. It's a long way from preschool, but we knew Jared would go far!
