A Portrait of the Aussies I Love Who Support Me by Jane (8-11 years, QLD)

Drawing
A Portrait of the Aussies I Love Who Support Me
I drew this picture of three of my most favourite people in the world: Harriet, Rose, and Miss Lou. They are all special to me. I've known Harriet in my heart forever, and Rose is always there for me no matter what. Miss Lou is so kind and always helps me feel better. If I could, I'd give them all an award: "I Am Pulling a Star from the Sky Award" because they deserve every star in the sky. I love art. I'm homeschooled and I am Autistic, ADHD and I live on the Sunshine Coast.
