[Aishwarya Pillai]

Hi Mike,

Thank you so much for your feedback on the paintings.  It is
encouraging to read it and makes me want to do more. And by the way, I
applied for Insights 2020, an art competition  by American Printing
House for the Blind.  I submitted "Cinderella", a painting whose image
I had shared here earlier.  So crossing my fingers and hoping for the
best.  Stay safe.

Aishwarya.

>> Blue secrets. Below is their description;
>> Cookie: (12X12 inches)
>> It's a brown and white color dog holding a black colored steering
>> wheel with his paws. His black colored eyes and tongue which is out
>> makes him look naughty as well as innocent. He has long ears and a
>> red colored collar belt with his name cookie inscribed on it. There's
>> a small white colored bone towards the top right of the canvas. The
>> whole of the background is colored in orange.
>>
>> Blue secrets: (22X15 inches)
>> it?s a landscape painting of an underwater scene. There?s a sea bed at
>> the bottom; sea rocks towards the left and the right sides and gravel
>> in between. There?s a pink colored starfish towards the right side
>> and a treasure chest on the left side. It has jewels, gold coins and a
>> cutlass. The sea bed also has sea weeds growing wildly here and
>> there. As for the water which covers almost three quarters of the

>> with white striped ones towards the left and three yellow with blue

>> The reason I did this painting is to give an idea of how underwater
