Autumn de Forest Quotes
School always comes first. Because I'm home schooled I paint about three hours every day on a school day, but more on the weekends. So I have to get a lot of schoolwork done, but I always get it done and do the best I can and then I paint a bunch. I love painting. It's my career and it's my passion.
