My friend Tashanda Johnson did this picture last semester for her art class with Ms. Durant. The thing I like about this picture is that she use's many colors to express how she sees herself in this picture as the art work. I like how the picture is trying to tell a story about a woman caught up in nature's web trying to find herself. Her life is in different area's of the picture most of the time she is colorfully. I believe she is a mix race girl who is having a hard time trying to fit in her community trying to get people to accept her.

I asked my friend why she painted this picture she told me that it was hard for her cause she moves around alot and went to different schools and was always an outcast felt she would never fit in with everyone else who looked at her in a nagative way. Her only comfort zone was when she went back to her old community where she saw her friends and family and felt she was accepted
