My Shining Light, Papa
This is my Papa! He's like, my hero every single day. He's always there for me for everything I need, and everything I do, and he's with me on everything. I painted him smiling because he's my super shining light!

I used lots of super bright colours in my picture, like orange and green and yellow, because my Papa makes me feel really, really happy. I drew his face in a cool way, outlining all the parts and then filling them with these fun colours. I think it shows how bright and happy he makes my life!
