I was given an unwanted, large canvas, and I decided to create something out of it. The shape was perfect for a mural of Tennessee, so I started sketching pieces of the blueprint. I heard of this competition that was under the same theme that I was already working on! I now had a deadline and a new purpose for my painting. I am very proud of my progress, especially after all the hours I spent dedicated to this painting. I grew up in Tennessee, so I wanted to put multiple items of everything Tennessee means to me. I think it would be fun for the audience to find the different items and relate them to their own experiences in this wonderful state.
