Portrait by Gallery Juana

Inspired by a challenge to do a painting based on a fictional character, I completed this small painting.

Marisol is in high school. She is shy, independent, and studies hard. Named after her grandmother, she has never liked her name because noone can pronounce it correctly. Most say "Mary soul" or "Marie soul." So she goes by the nickname Mary which she has announced on the first day of every class since fourth grade.

She is a bit confused now about her identity. She feels different from everyone. Little does she know that University will be a different world for her. She'll feel good about being different. She will even go by her real name in University, Marisol.
