You just came back after a long absence according to your profile. I am so honored that you came to my thread to denigrate a young black woman's vision on what Michelle meant to her and young women of color. Her painting speaks of her passion. The bold vibrancy of her colors and brush strokes are profound and marked with beauty and an inner strength that will not be denied. Michelle has inspired them. Yet you call it paint by numbers. How trite and demeaning.
