Through this painting of my older brother, I hoped to portray his quiet and reserved personality that hides his more encouraging and dependable side. Like most siblings, we fight and argue but, ultimately, he is the one person who brings out my true self, the one person who motivates me to be stronger, and one of the very few people that I trust. And that gives me confidence to say that I can always rely on him no matter what.
