Finalist: 9-12 year olds

Oliver Freeman Untitled

Age 11

9-12 year olds

I have chosen to depict my grandpa, George. Every Thursday he catches the train to my school and we walk and laugh as we walk around the park having afternoon tea, throwing around the ball and playing basketball, not to mention sprinting around the oval, which, after a headstart, he often wins! He is inevitably the highlight of my week. George is an 86-year-old man who is energetic, kind and friendly and I love him so dearly. I could not imagine a life without him.
