BECOMING AN ARTIST

It took a long time for Georgia's art work to be in an art musem, but once it was there every one loved her work. Georgia's art was on display for an extra two months because of this. She took lots of classes as a child and loved them but Georgia never would of gotten to if she was born fiffty years eirler.
ORIGINAL ART
Georgia loved to paint but she did not like the final peice. Why, because her work was no different than any other artist. Georgia wanted her work to be like no others and soon found a way to make that happen. She painted what she wanted not what others told her to paint.
