To be honest this is a dream come true. At the age of nine when my dad told me that I would be great or the greatest I did not believe him. I thought it was dad encouragement or some words or phrases to make me enjoy and want to paint more. But now that it has all happened I thank him and all of my prior masters for all the help along the way. But it's not over yet. I am still young and can't wait to see what's ahead of me in these years to come. I look forward to every minute of every hour to come.

It all started when I was nine whole years old and my dad has put me to work. It's not like work though it's better, it’s fun but can be boring when my dad talks and talks about how he used to be great and dad lectures like that. He says he sees a little bit of him in me, mostly in our art though. He is teaching me every day and I am becoming quite good, and he says that maybe in some years to come I can receive an internship and work for, and alongside great artists. Which sounds fun don't get me wrong but also sounds like a lot of hard work. My usual schedule is pretty boring besides painting and school. I really just study, eat, sleep, and sometimes if I have worked really hard and have been good he lets me go play outside. But he mostly just makes me do school and paint which can get boring at times. I do agree that my art is getting better. I have been working on my best piece yet which is a secret so I can't tell you yet. But other than that I have completed countless pieces, some better than others and my most recent ones are the best. I have also been working on beautiful and detailed etchings and sketches. Some of my best pieces are ¨Saturn devouring his Son¨, ¨The third of may 1808¨ and ¨La Maja desnuda¨ . Sometimes, even engravings but those are more time sufficient and I get bored while I do them. But as I progress more and more I hope to get noticed and become great one day.

I am currently 18 years old and my art is fantastic. Not to brag or anything though I am sure you would be fond of it too. My dad got me into an internship and I am now working alongside my first master painter. I am mostly just doing his chores but when he gives me the chance to paint I take advantage of it and work for hours and hours. That piece I was telling you about is my first important piece. It is a very thorough and organized engraving that I made in order to get noticed by great artists and it worked. I also made it for a family, not just for myself. It is a huge piece and it took me about 2 and a half years. I have now made way too many pieces to count and they are taking up most if not all of the space in my current home and my family's home. I have also sold and given away a ton though, I wouldn't know what to do with all of them if I kept them all.

But fast forward a couple years and I have been working restlessly on so many paintings and etching I have been noticed by not just “big” people but what seems like the whole world that I know. They are considering me to be one of the greatest painters of all time. In my youth I focused on nature or “sunshine and rainbows” maybe even both because that's all I saw as a kid. But my wisdom and past masters have matured me though I now paint pictures of political problems in our world as we know it. Some people call them scary but I think that they are almost perfect and are exactly as I see them. I have put too many long days and restless nights into those paintings to consider them even close to bad or ugly. Except I still have work to do if I can ever hope to become the greatest. Even though some people consider me to be the greatest painter already I believe that I could do better. So I will practice and practice to become the best and when I do, I will make sure that it will stay that way.

Well that was it, I had done it. I had successfully started on the way to greatness and becoming the best. I had a lot of help along the way though and I will never forget it. But as I said I have a lot more work to do and should go get started.
