Favorite Painter Contest
Sponsor: Nayda Ivette Negron

                                            John James Audubon
                                                 ~1785-1851~


                                  Born in France, loved American birds
                                           ornithologist by nature
                                      hawks, sparrows and bald eagles
                                        sailed high seas for research
                                             broke and penniless
                                                  published a book
                                                    painting was
                                                      his own
                                                       wealth

                                  My talents of painting have always
                                    been based on passion for eagles
                                         to see the love he portrays
                                               is a beautiful thing
                                                beneath the starlit
                                                  skies I see proof
                                                     talent does
                                                        exist...
                                                       Wings
