Elena is 7 years old, an artist, and an OsteoWarrior. She and her brother Ethan collaborated to create this paining that Makes It Better. Ethan is the tiger (the year he was born) and Elena’s the lamb (the year she was born) and he’s affectionately looking over her as the unicorn sheep plays in the meadow.. Ethan helped with the drawing the outline for the sheep and he painted his tiger.. and everything else was Elena artistry! 12x16 canvas size
