my first and only art award
When I was ten year old, I entered a city wide art contest back in Hong Kong. It was sponsored by a local newspaper: I enter with a painting of some colorful leaves and to my surprised I was a winner for the under sixteen age group. My award was a tiny but shinny trophy.
Sadly, there was my only triumph with my art, even I had become a better artist since but all the competitions I enter not only I never won but also got a few rejections.
Somehow, I completely forgot about this little trophy while growing up. Years later, after our family immigrated to Canada, one day I noticed it was on displayed at my mother’s living room! I had no idea she has kept it all these years and even brought it over from Hong Kong.
In the background is one of my drawing of the woodpecker I done when I was ten.
