My Awesome Australian: Online exhibition

Lincoln by Hayden (12-15 years, VIC)

Drawing, Chalk pastels
Lincoln
Lincoln is one of my close friends who I’ve known for six years and grew up alongside with. He’s a kind and calm person who has always been a good friend. Lincoln is someone who I would say is a very artistic person. One of Lincoln’s achievements is that he played for our cricket a1 team and won the finals. Lincoln is a person who has a passion for coding and playing cricket. So far Lincoln has left a lasting impression on everyone he has met. If I gave him an award, it would be “Most Goated Person.”
