Raiden's 1st Art Show

My son, Raiden, had his 1st art opening last night with his school.  He had 3 pieces in the show and he was very excited.  I was excited because for the longest time he didn't want to draw because he was self conscious about his work.  Lately he has been drawing so much and it makes me happy to see him feel comfortable with himself and with finding artistic ways of expressing himself.  Before we went to the show we went on a hike up a mountain.  Our friend and fellow artist, Ana Ramirez, came to the opening which it made it really special for Raiden.  Here are some pictures of this event:
