Online Gallery Features: Joy Allen

All my life I've loved to draw!! I won my first art contest in 2nd grade. Drew a terrific seal at the circus. My Dad loved art too. He encouraged me and taught me how to draw a face. After that, I couldn't stop! I drew portraits all the time. In school, I sketched teachers, friends, animals or whatever. I studied how one's eye winks or different expression a mouth can make. My school notebooks were crammed with sketches!....
